"The office of Hannah Neumann, a member of the German Greens and head of the delegation spearheading work on European Union-Iran relations, was targeted by a hacking campaign that started in January, she said. Her staff was contacted with messages, phone calls and emails by hackers impersonating a legitimate contact. They eventually managed to target a laptop with malicious software.
"It was a very sophisticated attempt using various ways to manage that someone accidentally opens a link, including putting personal pressure on them," Neumann said.
Neumann was made aware of the ongoing ploy four weeks ago by the German domestic intelligence service, she said.
The group thought to be behind the attack is a hacking collective associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, known as APT42, according to a report by the Parliament’s in-house IT service DG ITEC and seen by POLITICO. Another Iranian hacking group, called APT35 or Charming Kitten, was initially considered a culprit too. The two Iranian threat groups are closely related."
