Motherboard is reporting that mere hours after he who I will never name again became the President-elect of the United States Russian hackers began a phishing campaign ‘against dozens of people working at universities, think tank tanks, NGOs, and even inside the US government.’
Around 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, the hackers sent a series of phishing emails trying to trick dozens of victims into opening booby-trapped attachments containing malware, and clicking on malicious links, according to security firm Volexity, which observed and reported the five attack waves. The targets work for organizations such as Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, the Atlantic Council, the RAND Corporation, and the State Department, among others.
Of course, it isn’t the Russians it is some 400 lbs fella on a couch in Des Moines.
