A new phishing campaign called "Beyond the Grave" targeted international hedge funds on January 9th, 2019. In a statement posted to BleepingComputer, the attackers have stated that they will continue to target banking and financial institutions in the future.

A member named XanderBauer has created a post in the BleepingComputer forums with a title of "Beyond The Grave Virus infecting Hedge Funds". This post states that their phishing campaign is designed to alter data confidentiality in the targeted hedge funds, but it is not clear if that is to be used for the attackers financial advantage or to cause market instability for political reasons.

These phishing emails impersonate a legitimate financial research company named Aksia and pretend to be research regarding rumors related to ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) halting short selling during Brexit.
