𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐒 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 Mandiant has identified a formidable Iranian APT group, UNC1860, believed to be affiliated with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). UNC1860 specializes in gaining initial access to target networks and establishing long-term persistence, particularly in government and telecommunications organizations across the Middle East. The group leverages a custom arsenal of tools including TEMPLEPLAY, VIROGREEN, STAYSHANTE, SASHEYAWAY, TEMPLEDOOR, FACEFACE, SPARKLOAD, and OATBOAT to compromise systems and steal data. UNC1860 has also been linked to APT34 and has targeted organizations in Iraq. This activity highlights the growing sophistication of Iranian cyber operations and the potential threat they pose to critical infrastructure in the Middle East. Organizations should be vigilant and implement robust cybersecurity measures to defend against these attacks. #cybersecurity #security #infosec #cyberattack #cyberwarfare #cloudDFN

ICI Bucharest participated, between February 21-22, 2024, in an exercise that simulated a cyber attack on the critical infrastructure of the Port of Constanta, organized by the Center of Excellence for Maritime Cybersecurity (MARCYSCOE) of the Maritime University of Constanta in partnership with the National Cyber Security Directorate. The event benefited from the direct contribution of more than 40 participants from six countries, distributed within several incident management teams, assessed crisis response capacity, and capitalized on lessons learned. Teams of cyber warfare specialists explored the impact of cyber attacks on a critical entity of European importance, especially in the context of a challenging security environment due to the war in Ukraine and Romania's trade facilitation of Ukraine.
