| Putin’s hackers support National Front and hack Macron Russian hackers have been targeting the election campaign of Emmanuel Macron, the favorite to win France’s presidential election. The hackers belong to a cyber espionage group linked by some experts to the Russian military intelligence agency GRU. Feike Hacquebord, a researcher with security firm Trend Micro, said he had found evidence that the spy group, dubbed “Pawn Storm”, targeted the Macron campaign with email phishing tricks and attempts to install malware on the campaign site. He said digital fingerprints linked the Macron attacks with those last year on the US Democratic National Committee (DNC) the campaign of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and that similar techniques were used to target German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party in April and May of 2016. “We have seen that phishing sites were set up and the fingerprints were really the same actors as in the DNC breach,” Hacquebord said. http://www.techeye.net/uncategorized...nd-hack-macron |
