A recent phishing campaign is targeting attendees of cybersecurity conferences like Def Con and Black Hat. A Huntress blog post details an incident where a researcher received deceptive messages on social media, pretending to be from a CoinDesk executive. The attacker used Google Docs and Dropbox to deliver malware disguised as conference materials.
Huntress warns conference-goers to be vigilant for unexpected requests that may lead to malware installation and suggests isolating compromised systems and changing credentials if targeted.
