Google has just revealed that it has detected a phishing attack originating from Jinan, China that targeted hundreds of people, including "senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, officials in several Asian countries (predominantly South Korea), military personnel and journalists".The attack itself " which relied on phishing passwords "doesn't appear to be overly sophisticated, according to a report that identified it back in February. But it was very targeted, which is unusual for phishing schemes. Google says that the perpetrators were stealing user passwords, then setting Gmail accounts to automatically forward messages to other inboxes(delegation settings, which can grant other people access to accounts, were also changed).
