Most targeted attacks against organizations originate as spear-phish campaigns or watering hole style
web driveby attacks. Within the last six months, Invincea has discovered and stopped targeted
malvertizing attacks against specific companies -- particularly those in the Defense Industrial Base. The combination of traditional cyber crime methods (malvertising) with targeted attacks against Defense industrials for theft of IP represents another development in the on-going blending of techniques from cyber crime and advanced threat actors with nation state agendas. We are tracking an on-going campaign against US Defense companies under the code name Operation DeathClick.
