NOTES:

• Zip archives are password-protected with the standard password.  If you don't know it, see the "about" page of this website.

• SocGholish is a term used in the EmergingThreats rules that alert on network traffic for this activity.
• The "Soc" in SocGholish is a contraction for "Social Engineering" because this campaign uses fake update-themed web pages to trick potential victims.
• I'd previously called this the "Fake Updates" campaign, but I'm now calling it by the EmergingThreats rule.
• My previous documentation for this campaign was on 2019-06-28.
