Security researchers have uncovered cyberespionage operations by an Iran-based hacker group targeting aerospace and telecom firms with a previously undocumented stealthy Trojan program that’s been in use since 2018. Security firm Cybereason has dubbed the campaign Operation GhostShell and said it targeted primarily companies in the Middle East, but also in the US, Europe and Russia. The goal of the attacks is the theft of information about the victims’ infrastructure, technology and critical assets.
