Cyberangriff auf die Rüstungsindustrie: Proofpoint deckt iranische Social-Engineering-Kampagne auf

Hackergruppe Imperial Kitten

(PresseBox) (München, )
Den Security-Experten von Proofpoint ist es nun gelungen, eine neue Social-Engineering-Attacke von TA456 (Threat Actor 456 – oft auch Imperial Kitten oder Tortoiseshell genannt) aufzudecken. Bei der Kampagne versuchten die Cyberkriminellen über mehrere Jahre hinweg eine Verbindung zu einem Mitarbeiter eines Rüstungsunternehmens im Bereich Luft- und Raumfahrt aufzubauen, um dessen Computer später mit Malware zu infizieren. Der für den Angriff verantwortlichen Hackergruppe werden Verbindungen zum iranischen Staat sowie dessen Revolutionsgarden nachgesagt.

Proofpoint-Forscher haben eine über Jahre andauernde Social-Engineering- und Malware-Kampagne der vom iranischen Staat unterstützten Hackergruppe TA456 identifiziert. Mit Hilfe des Social-Media-Pseudonyms „Marcella Flores“ etablierten die Cyberkriminellen eine Beziehung zu qglbj Efsmftjkafz xpjty xhqrqzb Wkkqarmtroshvxkvyqh nfedz Xdtnaeynxfddhbgjqaft lf Ydjursx Xgke- ehi Auimefigg.
