  • In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host Sherrod DeGrippo is joined by security researchers Anna Seitz and Sarah Pfabe to dive into the activities of the Russian-aligned threat actor, Star Blizzard. Active since 2022, Star Blizzard recently shifted tactics by using WhatsApp for spear-phishing campaigns targeting government officials, NGOs, and academics. The team discusses how this change in approach may be a response to previous exposure of their tactics.
