Threat Source newsletter (Sept. 26)
Summary: An attacker known as "Tortoiseshell" is using a phony, malicious website to deliver malware, targeting U.S. military veterans who may be searching for a job. The newsletter notes these types of sites are likely to be shared on social media as the general population hopes to support the veteran population.
Key Takeaway: The lure here is goodwill: people sharing job-site links to help veterans are the distribution channel, so the malicious site spreads through trust rather than a technical exploit.
