The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is releasing this FLASH to disseminate indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with malicious cyber activities linked to Funnull Technology Inc. (Funnull).
Funnull is a Philippines-based company which provides computer infrastructure for thousands of websites associated with cryptocurrency investment fraud (CIF) scams, commonly referred to as “pig butchering,” and other illicit activities.

Funnull facilitates these scams by purchasing IP addresses and providing hosting services and other internet infrastructure to groups performing these frauds.
