Cybersecurity experts at the “ThreatConnect Research Team” concluded last month that Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins and some of his top researchers, including Toler, were targeted in a spearphishing campaign consistent with the tactics, techniques, and procedures of the hacker group “Fancy Bear,” which has been implicated in attacks on the Democratic National Convention, the World Anti-Doping Agency, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Die Cybersicherheitsexperten vom “ThreatConnect Research Team” kamen im vergangenen Monat zu dem Schluss, dass der Gründer von Bellingcat, Eliot Higgins, sowie einige seiner obersten Forscher, darunter auch Toler, Opfer einer Spear-Phishing-Kampagne geworden sind, deren Taktik, Technik und Methoden der Arbeit der Hackergruppe "Fancy Bear" ähneln. Die Gruppe soll in Angriffe auf die Democratic National Convention, die Welt-Anti-Doping-Agentur und den Internationalen Sportgerichtshof verwickelt sein.
