Hello false flags! The art of deception in targeted attack distribution (RSA Conference 2017)

When it comes to targeted attacks, everyone is obsessed with attribution. It’s a near impossible question to answer. Attackers often try to muddy the waters through deception tactics like false flags. This talk will draw on unpublished research to provide real-world examples of false flag operations and explain why understanding them is crucial for researchers and users of threat intelligence.
