,----[ Quote ]
| The attack was described as being conducted through several waves of phishing
| emails with malicious attachments, starting on Oct. 29. Although not stated,
| these would presumably have launched Trojans if opened, designed to bypass
| security systems from within, which raises the likelihood that the attacks
| were targeted specifically at the lab.
