• Russian Spear Phishing Targets Vulnerable Democratic Party Members (Again)

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/07/daily-beast-russian-hackers-targeted-democrat-facing-tough-2018-election/ Claire McCaskill, among the most vulnerable Senate Democrats facing re-election this year, was one of three candidates in the 2018 midterm election targeted by the highly determined Russian intelligence agency. According to the post, McCaskill’s office received one or more fake notifications claiming the target’s Microsoft Exchange password had expired and advising it be changed. Targets who clicked on a link were directed to a counterfeit version of the US Senate’s Active Directory Federation Services login page, which would send any passwords the targets entered to the people behind the fake page. If the ruse sounds familiar, it’s probably because it replicates many of the techniques used in 2016 to steal the Gmail passwords of Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and a number of other individuals connected to the Clinton campaign and the White House. Thursday’s Daily Beast article doesn’t just rely on similarities. It cited statements Microsoft VP Tom Burt made last week when he said the company's seizure of a fake Microsoft domain disrupted a Russian-sponsored hacking campaign that targeted three candidates in the 2018 election. The Daily Beast said the domain was adfs.senate.qov.info, which was used in the spear-phishing emails targeting McCaskill and other Senate staffers. The identities of the other two candidates have yet to become public. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1021784726217142273
