Alperovitch declined to disclose the targets&#8217; identities to Defense One, though Tucker reached out to several potential clients, including the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which confirmed an active investigation into an intruder is ongoing.\u00a0<br\/><br\/> However, no information was exfiltrated from the fewer than five organizations and 10 staffers hit, Alperovitch told Defense One, though he believes the group&#8217;s objective could have been to view think tank &#8220;communications with government officials to see if they may have some plundered information that&#8217;s been shared with them, or use them as a way to target government.&#8221;<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CrowdStrike, which previously discovered <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/story\/government\/election\/2016\/07\/25\/fbi-dnc-email-leak\/87528770\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: null\">Cozy Bear\u2019s involvement in hacking Democratic National Committee computers<\/a>, provides the think tanks with endpoint management tools to monitor networks for intrusions. In this instance, CrowdStrike\u2019s Falcon software was able to detect the infection right away and systems were isolated, but Cozy Bear has shown increasing adaptability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cozy Bear \u2014 which is believed to be linked to the Russian Federal Security Service and has staged attacks on the White House, State Department and Joint Chiefs of Staff \u2014 gained access through a spear-phishing technique. Spoof emails from familiar, trusted organizations and officials contained URLs to domains that would download Microsoft Office documents that act as remote access tools. Group members then execute rapid searches of system structure, looking for permissions needed to advance through the network and stay ahead of detection as they extract data.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COZY BEAR spear-phishing campaign against D.C.-based researchers has been thwarted, cybersecurity company CrowdStrike tells Defense
