"Silent Librarian Retools Phishing Emails to Hook Student Credentials"

The threat group known as Silent Librarian, TA407, or Cobalt Dickens, has been discovered to be using new tactics in an updated phishing campaign. Silent Librarian targets university students to steal student login credentials. According to researchers at Proofpoint, the group's recent campaign uses shortened URL links in phishing emails to make it increasingly difficult to detect the phishing attempt. These URLs redirect victims to revamped attacker-hosted landing pages that display university-specific banners, consisting of notifications about emergencies or the weather. This article continues to discuss the operations, new tactics, targets, and impact of the Silent Library threat group.
