Cobalt Dickens, a threat group that the US has accused of working on behalf of the Iranian government, has launched a large global phishing campaign aimed at students, faculty, and staff at dozens of universities. The US government indicted nine members of the group in March 2018 on charges related to the theft of some 31TB of academic data and intellectual property from universities, businesses, government, and nongovernmental organizations. The latest wave of phishing emails was sent to targets in over 60 universities across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong.”]
