NASA Employees Yield to Chinese Spear-Phishing Campaign​

An engineer of Chinese origin, Song Wu, conducted a targeted spear-phishing campaign to gather private data from national institutes. Some include NASA, the Space Agency, Air Force, Navy, Army, and the FAA. Song Wu sent requests while impersonating an American engineer to NASA employees, who simply thought they were sharing software with colleagues. The Officer Inspector General of NASA admits that phishing campaigns continue to get more sophisticated. Wu currently remains on the FBI's most wanted.
