The sophisticated cyber assault by Iran's OilRig group on Iraqi governmental entities highlights their long-standing strategy of leveraging phishing and malware to access sensitive information.
Check Point's analysis reveals that the latest OilRig campaign employed new malware families Veaty and Spearal, capable of executing PowerShell commands and harvesting critical files.
The use of compromised email accounts for commands demonstrates the advanced infiltration by OilRig, marking a significant escalation in their cyber warfare tactics against Iraq.
OilRig's persistent tactics mirror those of past operations, indicating a strategic consistency in their approach to breach security and steal data from high-level targets.
