The Russian APT group known as "DLL" or APT28 has started a new spear-phishing campaign, where it fires off phishing emails claiming to be from EFF, the "Electronic Frontier Foundation" using a 'fraudulent' domain name "electronicfrontierfoundation.org".

The simple audacity of the attack is interesting, but what is truly surprising is that a 25 year-old non-profit organisation that specialises in cyber issues had not even bothered to take up its own full-version .org domain name.
