A newly discovered hacking group is using an array of sophisticated spoofing and social engineering techniques to imitate government agencies. The group used these techniques to spread malware across several sectors in the U.S. and Europe, researchers say. The malware delivered to victims includes backdoor Trojans as well as certain strains of ransomware, the report says. One ransom note that was discovered asked for 694 ($766), says Christopher Dawson, the threat intelligence lead at Proofpoint. The exact scope of this campaign, and whether any money was stolen or ransomed, remains unclear.”]
