- In the spotlight this week: Digital Shadows reviewed nation-state–linked advanced persistent threat (APT) activity in 2019, and highlighted several trends. Some are likely to continue into 2020, and will be supplemented by new challenges as APT groups take advantage of new opportunities.
- Weekly highlights include: The threat actor “TA2101” impersonated government entities to deliver malware in the United States and Europe, hacker “Phineas Fisher” offered USD 100,000 to other hackers willing to conduct politically motivated data thefts, and a banking trojan dubbed Mispadu cropped up in a malvertising campaign to steal payment-card and banking-related information.
