There's nothing technically cool to see here. All they do is spear phishing and, once the link is clicked, put in a backdoor that uses commonly available tools. As I suspected earlier it's M$ against M$ only. The downside is nontechnical folks in positions of power often have sensitive data on their computers, only know M$ and don't have the knowledge to don't click on that "bank" email. Technically, it was 74 pages of yawn. Don't waste your time unless you're interested in how they found out where the attack was originating from and how they tied it to the .cn gov't. scott
