Iranian APT Targets Govs With New Malware

A new campaign is targeting governments with the ForeLord malware, which steals credentials. Researchers have attributed the campaign to a known Iranian advanced persistence threat (APT) group. The emails were targeting organizations in Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, as well as global government organizations and unknown entities in Georgia and Azerbaijan. ForeLord is so named because once the malware connects to the command and control (C2) servers, it receives a string of code that says lordlord lordlordlord, indicating that its messages have been received by the C2.
