Hackers created fake IT helpdesk websites targeting firms including Blackstone, Apollo, KKR, TPG, CME Group, Moody's, Bridgewater and Bain Capital. Google said some victims paid ransoms, though it did not identify them. The campaign relied on convincing employees to reveal passwords and MFA codes rather than advanced hacking techniques.
