Summary from the other thread: USAID is the United States Agency for International Development -- a U.S. federal international aid agency. The Russian hacking group Nobelium compromised the agency's Constant Contact account -- appears to be a MailChimp/SendGrid type marketing email service. They have proceeded (and continue?) to send out phishing emails to contacts of the agency, including humanitarian organizations, purportedly targeting Kremlin opposition among others. The emails contain a malicious payload with backdoor capabilities.
