The FBI assesses a group of malicious cyber actors—likely located in Iran—use Virtual Private Server infrastructure hosted in the United States to compromise government, corporate, and academic computer networks based in the Middle East, Europe and the United States. This infrastructure is used in conjunction with identified malicious domains to support a broad cyber campaign which likely includes the use of e-mail spear phishing, social engineering, and malicious Web sites (“watering hole attack”). These cyber actors almost certainly have been involved in this activity since at least early-2015.
Through a combination of FBI and private sector analysis, it is likely the actors involved with this activity are located in Iran. At least some victim information from this cyber activity transits US-based infrastructure to IP addresses located in Iran. At least one identified malicious domain was registered by a presumed Iranian national connected to a physical address in Tehran, Iran. The majority of the victims were located in Middle Eastern countries known to be traditional adversaries of the Iranian regime.
Technical Details
Attached to this FLASH is a list of 87 IP addresses and 136 domain names associated with this cyber activity. Activity related to these IPs and domains detected on a network should be considered an indication of compromise requiring mitigation.
