Israeli Cyber Defense Authority says it thwarted major cyberattack against 120 targets. Israeli experts believe that attack was launched by the OilRig APT group (aka Helix Kitten, NewsBeef), an Iran-linked APT that has been around since at least 2015. Attack was delivered via Microsoft Word documents that exploited a former zero-day vulnerability in Word, CVE-2017-0199, by reusing an existing PoC that have been published immediately after the patch release. Hackers also targeted experts at the prestigious Ben-Gurion University, where researchers conduct advanced researchers.”]
