jsrailton, 17 days ago (edited 17 days ago) There's a disgraceful ecosystem of public relations & lobbying firms using hackers for hire. Sometimes they are used to silence critics & advocacy groups. Like US nonprofits doing climate advocacy. Our investigation into a group we christened #DarkBasin uncovered a sprawling #India-based hack-for-hire operation. They enabled US corporations to outsource lawbreaking. https://citizenlab.ca/2020/06/dark-basin-uncovering-a-massive-hack-for-hire-operation/ #infosec #cybersecurity #malware #hacking #climatechange #climatecrisis #exxon #phishing
