"🌪️ Mint Sandstorm: Sophisticated Phishing Campaign Unleashed by APT35 🚨"
Microsoft's security blog reveals an intricate phishing campaign, "Mint Sandstorm," by the subgroup PHOSPHORUS (also known as APT35 and Charming Kitten), linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This campaign targets individuals in universities and research organizations involved in Middle Eastern affairs across various countries. Unique tactics include bespoke phishing lures, using compromised legitimate email accounts, and deploying custom backdoors like MediaPl and MischiefTut. These tools allow for encrypted communications, reconnaissance, and persistence in target environments. Microsoft suggests using Attack Simulator in Defender for Office 365, enabling SmartScreen on browsers, and activating cloud-delivered protection to mitigate risks.
