Google Vs China
Jun 8th
A couple of days ago, Google revealed a new spate of attacks aimed at Gmail users and said they originated from Jinan, China. The attackers were said to have been using “simple” social methods to trick their victims into providing their personal details. Carefully tailored messages, apparently written by a friend or colleague, were used to direct victims to a fake log-in page where their details were captured. This technique, known as “spear phishing,” was also used recently to steal information from the prominent security company RSA—information that may have been used to perform further attacks on the company’s customers.
