“The Dukes, a group also known as Cozy Bear or APT29, sent series of emails Wednesday after the election, including messages made to look like a Harvard professor forwarding information from the Clinton Foundation. The group sent the emails to many people working in national security, defense, international affairs, public policy, and European and Asian studies.

Components of the backdoor were hidden in PNG files. “
