UK Cyber Security Centre's scary new story: One phish, two phish, Russia phish, Iran phish
The groups typically groom targets with emails or on platforms like LinkedIn, where the attackers create personalities with plausible back stories. Once trust is established, the victim is often lured into clicking on malicious links. In the past, those links have included false invitations to conferences, or URLs to all the fun and glamour of a Zoom meeting.
The target could then be led to a server controlled by the threat group that prompts the input of credentials. SEABORIUM in particular has been known to set up email forwarding to monitor future activity of the victim, even after they have reset their credentials. The NSCS hence recommends disabling mail-forwarding as one spear-phishing mitigation tactic. The usual mitigation tactics are also recommended: strong passwords used only for email accounts, MFA, enabling built-in email scanning features, and ongoing vigilance.
