A hacking group is attempting to carry out targeted attacks against nation states while at the same time using the same infrastructure to carry out spam campaigns with the intention of delivering malware. Active since at least February 2018, the attackers are using phishing attacks to target governmental organizations of the UK, Spain, Russia, and the US. The group behind these attacks have been dubbed Gorgon Group and they’re believed to operate out of Pakistan. The name Gorgon refers to the mythical creature of Ancient Greek literature, who had snakes for hair.
