Recently Clearsky’s researchers collaborated with PwC’s intelligence team while investigating Attacks against Israeli & Palestinian interests.
The full post can be read at PwC’s Cyber security updates blog.
Here’s the excerpt:
“This short report details the techniques being used in a series of attacks mostly against Israel-based organisations. The decoy documents and filenames used in the attacks suggest the intended targets include organisations with political interests or influence in Israel and Palestine. Although we are unable to link this campaign to any already documented in open source, it bears similarities to some described by others previously
The earliest samples in the campaign we have identified date back to the summer of 2014. The number of samples discovered and relatively small scale of infrastructure suggest the attackers have limited resources with which to conduct attacks.
