Microsoft has warned of an ongoing spear phishing campaign for intelligence gathering by the Russian state-linked threat actor Midnight Blizzard.
The "OPERA1ER" APT group is known for targeted spear phishing emails, but is unique in targeting less economically developed nations in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The Iran-backed campaign targets prominent Israelis and uses spear phishing to gain access to emails, leveraging the account takeover to hijack existing conversations.
