> They also seemed to be trying to provoke the Citizen Lab researchers into making anti-Semitic or otherwise offensive comments [...] He held the cards in one hand, while in the other he held and awkwardly pointed a pen that appeared to contain a video recorder, Mr. Scott-Railton said. Ah interesting. The tried and true tactics, bait them into making offensive comments, then blackmail them to withdraw reports with the threat of exposure. > In a phone conversation, he had told Mr. Scott-Railton that he had a son about his age. When they met, he said the child was a daughter. Someone needs to take more "basic tradecraft" courses I think. All in all I think Citizen Lab did pretty good job identifying and thwarting this attack. It would a bit harder, as they found out, for whoever sent the fake "Michel Lambert" to keep sending him, he was already recognized at least once. It's back to a desk job for them I suppose.
