  4. Countermeasures: The Bateman Group worked with ProtonMail to develop and implement countermeasures to prevent similar attacks in the future.

The collaboration between the Bateman Group and ProtonMail was a significant success, and it demonstrated the importance of collaboration between cybersecurity firms and email service providers in mitigating sophisticated cyber threats.
