England’s Foreign Office Target of Sustained Cyberattack
The British government’s Foreign Office was the subject of an ongoing, sophisticated phishing campaign last year.
The campaign lasted for several months according to researchers, and was carried out by the Callisto Group hacking organization.
The hackers built multiple websites designed to closely resemble legitimate Foreign Office sites. The group then targeted employees with phishing attacks in an attempt to get email credentials.
It is yet unknown if the cyberattacks were successful.
