"Hackers are using this new attack method to target power companies"

Energy companies are being targeted by hackers using a new attack method, which applies a new twist onto the popular phishing tactic, according to researchers at Talos Intelligence. The process of phishing usually consists of the creation and distribution of legitimate-looking emails to victims in order to perform other forms of attacks upon the execution of embedded coded within those emails’ attachments. However, researchers have discovered that new phishing campaigns targeting power companies can run without the embedment of malicious code within attachments. This article further discusses how this attack differs from the usual phishing tactic and other findings by researchers.
