Those reports detailed a spear-phishing campaign aimed at Palestinian law enforcement. The malicious emails tried to infect victims with the Micropsia infostealer, a Delphi-based malware that contained many strings referencing characters from the Big Bang Theory and Game Of Thrones TV shows.

Check Point believes the advanced persistent threat (APT) behind these attacks is a group named the Gaza Cybergang.
