Recipients may report incidents online at <http://www.nipc.gov/> www.nipc.gov/ , and can reach the NIPC Watch and Warning Unit at (202) 323-3205, (888) 585-9078, or <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] .
The NIPC intends to update this alert should it receive additional relevant information, including information provided to it by the user community.
