Russian hackers as Department of Homeland Security

*Not only do hackers boldly pose as members of the Department of Homeland Security, they do so in order to intimidate people in the Federal government.

*I rather imagine this kind of spearphishing works pretty well. "Hey! Drone from the Commerce Department! Turn over your password right now, or we put you on the Watch List! You'll never fly domestic without relentless harassment again. What? 'Demand your civil rights?' With us, you don't have any!"
