In the constantly updating tech world, the Middle East finds itself amidst a cyber squall. A new phishing campaign has swept through, aimed squarely at government entities. The objective of this digital storm? To introduce an initial access downloader baptized IronWind. Now, there ain’t no wind too strong for some sturdy tech defenses, but this gust is stronger than a ten-gallon hat in a tornado.
Who’s stirring up this cyber tempest? The credit, or rather the blame, goes to a threat actor tracked by Proofpoint as ‘TA402’. This label might sound as empty as a politician’s promise unless we mention its other names; Molerats and Gaza Cyber Gang. Covert identities to fit the mask or the ever-so-mysterious digital bandits.
