The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI recently
issued a joint cybersecurity advisoryOpens in a new window due to matters
related to the conflict in Ukraine. Seller/Servicers are encouraged to review
and have their related third parties review the contents of the advisory and to
assess their respective environments for atypical channels for malware delivery
and/or propagation through their systems, to implement appropriate strategies,
and to ensure robust contingency planning and preparation in the event of a
cyberattack.

Given the current state of affairs, it is crucial that we maintain heightened
awareness of potential security breaches. As a reminder, the Freddie Mac
Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (Guide) requires that Seller/Servicers
report any security incidents, including security incidents impacting their
related third parties to Freddie Mac immediately (no later than 48 hours after
discovery), and have adequate business continuity provisions in the event of a
systems outage.

Our requirements for reporting security incidents and maintaining business
continuity can be found in the following Guide Sections:

 * Section 1301.2Opens in a new window Compliance with applicable law
 * Section 1302.1Opens in a new window Overview of information security and
   business continuity planning
 * Section 1302.2Opens in a new window Information security
 * Section 1302.3Opens in a new window  Business continuity planning

OFAC Screening

Additionally, Sellers must screen each borrower against the Office of Foreign
Assets Control’s (OFAC's) most recent list of Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons ("OFAC SDN List") prior to delivery of the related mortgage to
Freddie Mac.

Clients that service mortgages for Freddie Mac must periodically screen the
mortgages against the OFAC SDN List. If a Servicer identifies that a borrower on
a mortgage it services for Freddie Mac is a match against the OFAC SDN List, the
Servicer is required to notify Freddie Mac by email within 24 hours of
identifying such a match.

See Guide Section 1301.2(b)Opens in a new window for our requirements for OFAC
screening.

Please reach out to your Freddie Mac representative for questions regarding our
requirements related to this matter.
