You had mentioned in Post#1 of this tread the problem has existed for "6 Years" now? Was that a typo and you meant 6 months? The screen image of the "Virus" you point out has a date of March of 2021? I'm not sure that fits the 6 year window you were speaking of? Plus, if this has been an issue for 6 years, what OS are you running on the problem machine? If this is a W10 machine, 6 years ago happens to be release time of W10. Based on personal experience, I have seen at least 1 new update to the DJI Assistant software and I haven't even had my drone for an entire year yet.
Just a side note on viruses, but you should know this already based on your US govt employee status as an IT professional, if a virus was to get installed inadvertently or detected on a US Govt PC, by any means (regardless of anti-virus software on the machine) before that machine is allowed to be put back on the US Govt network, it needs a complete wipe and re-image. US Govt doesn't really mess around with trying to "recover" a system that has been flagged with "malicious software". However, I know you had stated that you did not install the software, but the fact that it existed once on the system would drive the complete wipe of the HD and re-image of the OS. So the next appropriate action to take, and I'm sure you know this from the extensive training that US govt personnel are required to take, is to power the system off, remove it from govt networks, and contact your computing security officer. They can then do forensic research on the system. No need for the FBI, there are already policies in place for this type of research on Us Govt systems. But once again as a US govt employee in the IT field you already know all this.
If it was a private computer that you own and operate that had the issues I feel sorry for you that your own personal PC might have been harmed, However then there is no need to say this is a "national security situation", since as a US govt employee, you should not be working on US govt related material on a private PC anyways!
Just a few words of advice, if you were working on US Govt related material on a privately owned PC, that is not explicitly listed as GFE on a US govt contract, don't contact the FBI...It might be worse on you than it will be on the DJI if an investigation is to be conducted. |
