What is a cyber mercenary group and who are they attacking through cyberspace? In this episode, Feike Hacquebord, Sr. Threat Researcher at Trend Micro, reveals extensive details of a cyber mercenary group he has been tracking for more than a year, which he calls Void Balaur.
"They target a lot of doctors… they are sending phishing emails to target senior engineers working for phone companies, they are targeting banks, as well.
