US and UK agencies share information on new malware deployed by Iranian-backed MuddyWatter group. MuddyWater is “targeting a range of government and private-sector organizations across sectors” in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. The Iranian-sponsored group is known for focusing its attacks on Middle Eastern entities and continually upgrading its toolkit. Today’s alert follows a similar one issued on Wednesday attributing Cyclops Blink to the Russian-backed Sandworm hacking group. In January 2022, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security was officially linked to the country’s leading government intelligence agency.”]
