Security researchers have uncovered two interconnected Middle East attack campaigns of very different skill levels aimed at stealing sensitive information from Israeli and Egyptian targets.
Trend Micro revealed the results of its threat intelligence in its latest report: Operation Arid Viper, Bypassing the Iron Dome. <http://www.trendmicro.com/cloud-content/us/pdfs/security-intelligence/white-papers/wp-operation-arid-viper.pdf>
It details two attack campaigns launched by a “budding generation of Arab hackers and malware creators.”
The first, Operation Arid Viper, is by far the more sophisticated.
