Researchers from Invincea Labs and ThreatGrid published a report dissecting a sophisticated spear-phish aimed at a high profile target within America’s Defense and Intelligence community July 20th. Based on our analysis, we believe a new active and sustained campaign directed against the US defense industrial base was started within the past two weeks. The campaign demonstrates hallmarks of a persistent adversary as multiple attack methods have been utilized, including spear-phish emails in what we believe is an attempt to gain a beach head on defense contractor networks.
