"Ministries of Foreign Affairs have become a particular focus of interest for Pawn Storm recently. Aside from malware attacks, fake Outlook Web Access (OWA) servers were also set up for various ministries. These are used for simple, but extremely effective, credential phishing attacks.

This means that Pawn Storm has been intercepting incoming e-mail to this organization for an extended period of time in 2015."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
