ThreatConnect has posted an excellent item detailing how somebody (Russia???) is using spearphising to undermine Bellingcat, an open source research firm that contributed to the MH17 investigation.

MH17 Wreckage

 

MH17 is the Malaysian Airlines airliner that someone shot down over the UkraineĀ on July 17, 2014, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board.

If you visit the Bellingcat website you will see why the Russians would not be pleased with its content.

Knowing the details of how bad guys use spearphishing emphasizes the need to identify and avoid evil emails.
