Trend Micro has released its latest research report on the activity of Pawn Storm (aka APT28 and Fancy Bear), an active cyber espionage group that targets the global defence industry and politicians, among others. The report exposes how the group targets and attacks individuals in high value organisations using sophisticated socially engineered phishing emails.
Pawn Storm is actively targeting Emmanuel Macron’s campaign in France, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung. This is a continuation of their increased activity in 2016 to influence public opinion, which aligned with several global elections.
