Well sort of

If you were looking for a company to take charge of the security on your own systems, would you trust one that was serving malware from its own Web site? Me neither.

I was clicking around on the site looking for graphics to use when suddenly Google Chrome said that the page was trying to serve me malware

The malicious part of the Web page is an iframe inserted at the very end of the file after the </html>:

This is obviously injected code and I’m guessing it has gone unnoticed because DHS no longer uses this blog. Incidentally, Kaspersky Internet Security calls the link "Trojan-Clicker.HTML.IFrame.agb".

CIPAV ? as in,

The Computer and Internet Protocol Address Verifier (CIPAV) is a data gathering tool that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses to track and gather location data on suspects under electronic surveillance. The software operates on the target computer much like spyware, whereas it is unknown to the operator that the software has been installed and is monitoring and reporting on their activities.[1]

The CIPAV captures location-related information, such as: IP address, MAC address, open ports, running programs, operating system and installed application registration and version information, default web browser, and last visited URL.[1]

Once that initial inventory is conducted, the CIPAV slips into the background and silently monitors all outbound communication, logging every IP address to which the computer connects, and time and date stamping each

Good thinking never occurred to me. It's possible i suppose, but ? Wouldn't put it past them, and the others etc, or be surprised if it was true.
