US cybersecurity firm FireEye has uncovered an extremely sophisticated hacking campaign during which a suspected Iranian group redirected traffic from companies all over their globe through their own malicious servers, recording company credentials for future attacks.

In a technical report released today, FireEye provides an insight into these attacks, which have been happening since at least January 2017.
The FireEye analysts behind this report described the scope and impact of this campaign on Twitter as "huge."

The US cyber-security firm also pointed out that this type of attack is very hard to defend against because attackers are not accessing a company's internal network in most cases, and aren't likely to trigger alarms with local security software.
