Several state government entities (specifically addressed to "state archives") have reported receiving suspicious envelopes containing multiple CDs. These envelopes were postmarked from China and additionally contained a piece of paper with what appears to be text translated to English. The NYS Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Cyber Incident Response Team (DHSES-CIRT) has found that no malicious files were contained on the disks received thus far by NYS entities.

The SUNY Information Security Office is recommending that all employees be suspicious of unexpected media such as CDs, DVDs, or thumb drives showing up in the mail or found on the premises. Any such event should be reported to the RITE Support Desk. Do not attempt to read the items using a campus or personal computer.
