Seedworm Targeting Telecom, IT, and Utility firms in the Middle East and Asia
Symantec revealed that the Iranian MuddyWater group has been targeting telecom operators, IT firms, and a utility company in the Middle East and other parts of Asia. Researchers observed that the attackers made a deliberate attempt to target more and more organizations by mounting a supply-chain attack. Seedworm’s focus on gathering telecom-related intelligence leaves only little for researchers to ponder upon as it cannot be predicted accurately how hackers will exploit it.
