Symantec and Carbon Black's Threat Hunter Team reported a five-month espionage campaign against a senior executive at a major global stock exchange, where attackers silently exfiltrated the victim's Outlook inbox in small batches routed through Dropbox and OneDrive to blend with legitimate cloud traffic. The extended dwell time and use of trusted cloud services for exfiltration makes this a textbook advanced persistent threat case study.
