New advanced malware, possibly nation sponsored, is targeting US utilities
- gen3 7y agoPhishing will always be a threat. Infrastructure will always be a target. I am surprised that we don't hear more about events like this.

- miles 7y ago"Advanced malware"? "Possibly nation sponsored"? This is a pretty obvious phishing email ("Dear participant...") with a Word macro which would have to be explicitly allowed in order to run even under Word's default settings. Like many of these announcements, it's really just an advertisement for a vendor whose company "was able to block all phishing attempts used against the three customers in this campaign".
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoThe phishing campaign may be really lame. The payload, however, was pretty sophisticated.
