The FBI sent out a flash notice in late July warning of a broad persistent cyberattack campaign backed by a group with assets based in Iran targeting U.S., Middle Eastern, and European networks.
A July 25 alert warned of “malicious cyber actors” using U.S.-hosted virtual private server infrastructure to set cyber traps aimed at compromising government, corporate and academic networks.
It didn’t name the group, however.
The warning was first posted on the American Bar Association’s cybersecurity legal task force page, then on the Public Intelligence open source site on July 31.
