Around 240 high-profile victims in 39 countries worldwide have become victims of an APT cyber-espionage attack, led by an organization dubbed the Gaza Cybergang that comprises several groups of varying sophistication.

“The Gaza Cybergang is an Arabic speaking, politically motivated collective of interrelated threat groups actively targeting the Middle East and North Africa, with a particular focus on the Palestinian Territories,” the firm said in an analysis shared with Threatpost ahead of a presentation on it at the show.

Kaspersky Lab researchers, who named the campaign SneakyPastes, said that it commenced last spring, making use of disposable email addresses to spread the infection through politically themed phishing messages. The mails had malicious links or attachments.
“The various malicious implants used PowerShell, VBS, JS, and dotnet to secure resilience and persistence within infected systems,” researchers said in the analysis.
