A recent cyber attack targeting Albanian organizations involved the use of a destructive wiper called No-Justice, attributed to an Iranian group called Homeland Justice. The attack aimed at entities in Albania and involved tools such as PowerShell scripts and legitimate tools for reconnaissance and remote access. Pro-Iranian threat actors have also targeted Israel and the U.S. amidst continuing geopolitical tensions.
Based on the meeting notes, it appears that there has been a recent wave of cyber attacks targeting Albanian organizations. The attacks are attributed to an Iranian group called Homeland Justice and have been directed at entities such as ONE Albania, Eagle Mobile Albania, Air Albania, and the Albanian parliament. The attacks involve the use of a wiper called No-Justice and a PowerShell script to propagate the malware in the target network. The attackers have also utilized legitimate tools like Plink, RevSocks, and the Windows 2000 resource kit for reconnaissance, lateral movement, and persistent remote access.
Additionally, there is mention of pro-Iranian threat actors targeting Israel and the U.S., with groups such as Cyber Av3ngers and Cyber Toufan adopting a narrative of retaliation in their cyber attacks. Cyber Toufan has been linked to hack-and-leak operations targeting over 100 organizations and causing significant damage. The Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) is tracking roughly 15 hacker groups associated with Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, operating in Israeli cyberspace.
The tactics employed in these cyber attacks supposedly share similarities with those used in the Ukraine-Russia war, leveraging psychological warfare and wiper malware to destroy information.
It’s clear from the meeting notes that there are significant cybersecurity concerns related to the activities of these threat actors. If you need further analysis or specific action items based on these notes, feel free to ask.
