Slipping into the inboxes of top-tier academics and researchers like an unwanted party guest, all to get the deets on what's cooking in the Middle East kitchen. If espionage were an Olympic sport, these guys would be going for gold in the phishing category! Microsoft's cyber sleuths are on their tail, but it's like whack-a-mole with a sophisticated, state-sponsored hammer.
