Травля Bellingcat
Washington Post пишет о российской травле Хиггинса и Bellingcat:
Russian hackers harassed journalists who were investigating the Malaysia Airlines plane crash
The Russian harassment and propaganda campaign against Bellingcat, and Higgins in particular, began in February 2015. Bellingcat had completed a report that documented Russian shelling on Ukrainian military positions in eastern Ukraine, which Moscow had denied. The state-run Sputnik website ran an article suggesting that Bellingcat was linked to the CIA.
Beginning that month through July 2016, three Bellingcat researchers, including Higgins, received numerous “spearphishing” emails that were written in a way to dupe the recipient into clicking on a link containing malware. Higgins alone received 16 such emails, which consisted of spoofed Gmail security notices urging the recipient to click a link to review recent suspicious activity.
That technique, Barger said, is consistent with a technique used by a Russian hacker group dubbed Fancy Bear by some security researchers. The group is run out of the GRU, the military intelligence service, analysts said.
