Motherboard published an interesting report on an espionage campaign led by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) against the opponents of the Syrian Government. SEA conducted targeted spear phishing attacks against a number of high-profile people in the Syrian opposition, including Salim Idris, the chief of staff of the Supreme Military Council (SMC) of the Free Syrian Army. The SEA has stolen from the victims any information related activities against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Security experts speculate that many other individuals fell victim of the operation.”]
