| [Hurriyet] European authorities have taken action to shut down a cyber espionage operation linked to Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard in the first operation of its kind since Tehran signed a nuclear treaty, according to security researchers who located computers used to launch attacks. The hacker group - dubbed "Rocket Kitten" by security experts who have been hunting the hacker group since early 2014 - has mounted cyberattacks on high-profile political and defence figures globally since that time. The action is likely to hamper Tehran's efforts to gather sensitive intelligence from rivals including Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Israel, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , the United States and Venezuela, which were among the nations targeted. Researchers from U.S.-Israeli security firm Check Point Software said the 1,600 high-profile targets include members of the Saudi royal family, Israeli nuclear scientists, NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... officials and Iranian dissidents and even the wives of high-ranking generals from unnamed countries. The company said it had informed national computer security response teams in Britannia, Germany and the Netherlands, who in turn alerted police in those countries to the locations of "command and control" servers used to mount attacks controlled from Iran. Europol, the FBI and Israel's internal security service Shin Bet declined immediate comment. The actions come as U.S. President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepare to meet on Nov. 9 for the first time since the Israeli leader lost his battle against the Iran nuclear deal and security issues top the agenda. Check Point plans to issue a report later on Nov. 9. According to an advance copy obtained by Rooters, the report details how its experts burrowed inside the hacker group's database, giving them a map of malicious software tools and remote-controlled computers used by the group. |
