Iranian Cyber Attack Targets Israeli Officials, Former U.S. Ambassador
(Times of Israel) Michael Bachner - Iranian hackers recently employed a wide array of fake email accounts to impersonate trusted parties, take over the targets' accounts, steal information and use it to attack new targets, including former foreign minister Tzipi Livni and a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, the Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point Research said Tuesday. Check Point said it believed the attack was perpetrated by an Iranian group called Phosphorus, which has a long history of conducting high-profile cyber operations aligned with Tehran's interests as well as targeting Israeli officials.
