Iranian hackers are conducting a sophisticated espionage campaign targeting countries across the Middle East, according to a report by Israeli-American cybersecurity company, Check Point. The hackers, linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, have targeted key defense and intelligence agencies, as well as government staff members, militaries, telecommunications companies, and financial organizations. The malware used by the hackers not only infiltrates computers but also maps out the networks they have gained access to, providing Iran with valuable information for planning future attacks. The campaign marks a new phase in the digital conflict between Iran and its rivals, highlighting Iran’s improving cyber capabilities.
