SANS infosec training org suffers data breach after phishing attack

The SANS Institute is one of the largest organizations that offer information security training and security certification to users worldwide. One of their employees fell victim to a phishing attack that allowed a threat actor to gain access to their email account. The threat actor then proceeded to configure a rule that forwarded all email received in this account to an “unknown external email address”” and installed a malicious Office 365 add-on. SANS will host a webcast that includes information about this incident that would be useful to the greater security community.”
