Trend Micro documents Pawn Storm's persistent espionage activity in the second half of 2017, detailing credential- and spear-phishing campaigns (including tabnabbing and ADFS impersonation) against political organizations, Olympic winter sports federations, and government-related targets; the report includes timelines, examples of phishing emails, observed tactics, and a list of phishing domains and IoCs, and warns that politically motivated influence operations will likely continue.
