Iranians impersonated the families of the abductees and attacked Israeli targets online - voila! technology. Google Cloud company Mandiant revealed today (Wednesday) extensive espionage activity by a cyber group suspected of being Iranian.
The group, known as UNC1549, is apparently linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards and has been active since at least June 2022. The campaign is mainly directed against elements in the aviation, space and security sectors in the Middle East, and in particular in Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
