Iranian hackers attack Israeli organizations. They target providers of basic services

The ClearSky team has discovered a new threat of attacks by Iranian hackers. People working on the Siamesekitten team have targeted Israeli suppliers of services such as oil, gas, and telecommunications services.

The Siamese kitten hacking group (also called Lyceum or Hexane) is an Iranian APT group operating in the Middle East and Africa. ClearSky specialists found that their attacks took place in May and July this year.

Attack method

Iranian cybercriminals, as part of their attacks on Israeli companies, impersonated employees of a given company or the HR department of other corporations. Potential victims were tempted by false job offers in large, well-known companies. Fraudsters pretending to be recruiters sent, among other things, spreadsheets containing job offers with detailed information.

The interested employees accessed the phishing pages that were sent to them, listed in the offer file. On the sites crafted by the hackers, there was a hidden file that launched the backdoor Milan. The next stage of the attack was to download a remote access Trojan named DanBot, which was possible thanks to an earlier backdoor.

So you can see that the Siamesekitten group put a lot of work into their attacks. In addition to creating fake pages and campaigns targeting potential victims, hackers also created profiles on LinkedIn. This, in turn, could be used by them to further build a database of potential victims, as well as to authenticate their intentions.

Spy campaign

According to ClearSky, such campaigns by Siamesekitten are typical espionage activities. As with other groups, it is possible that intelligence gathering is the first step towards launching impersonation attacks.

The specialists also found that the attacks were similar in their manner to that of another campaign. In their opinion, the North Korean operation, aimed at the defense industry at the time, was carried out in a very similar way.

Apple will present an iPhone rental program, how much does it cost

Apple reportedly will present a program that allows users to rent an iPhone for a certain period.

Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman stated this.

According to a Phone Arena report, Tuesday (5/4/2022), the program will be released in late 2022 or early 2023 in the United States.

The estimated subscription costs for the rental program are iPhone 13 for 35 USD or around 500 thousand per month, iPhone 13 Pro for 45 USD or around 600 thousand per month, iPhone 13 Pro Max for 50 USD or around 700 thousand per month.

As the name suggests, a rental program, the iPhone, cannot be owned by the tenant. If the subscription period has expired, it must be returned.

This program is considered Apple’s brilliant idea to reap more profits considering the reputation of the iPhone as a prestige gadget in society.
