   Twitter: [2]@cooperq\n\n   Description:\n   For the last 6 years my coll
 eagues and I have been tracking the\n   activities of the cyber-mercenarie
 s we call Dark Caracal. In this time\n   we have observed them make a numb
 er of hilarious mistakes which have\n   allowed us to gain crucial insight
 s into their activities and victims.\n   In this talk we will discuss the 
 story of Dark Caracal\, the mistakes\n   they have made\, and how they hav
 e managed to remain effective despite\n   quite possibly being the dumbest
  APT to ever exist.\n\n   REFERENCES\n         [3]https://www.eff.org/wp/o
