Detected hackers from Iran. Prepared to use the malware.

FBI warns! Hackers from Iran have been detected preparing to use malware to attack journalists around the world.

The recent Iranian war this year has been called a global impact, not even in the cybersecurity world, where Iranian hackers have been working on attacks against belligerent organizations and allied nations, and this has begun to spread to various journalists.

According to a report by NDTV World, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has mentioned that a group of hackers sponsored by the Iranian government is trying to attack Iranian journalists, journalism, and anti-government groups around the world through the Telegram chat application. In that attack, hackers will approach the victim by impersonating a Trusted Contact or a technical officer to trick the victim into pressing a link that claims to be a famous application like WhatsApp or Telegram. If the victim downloads it, it will lead to malware infection. It has the ability to steal the victim's machine data and take control of the victim's machine remotely. It also has the ability to smuggle screen records and record clips where the victim is using a video call. This malware is connected to a bot on Telegram's system that will be used as a command and receive stolen data. In addition, hiding on Telegram's system can disguise himself from being monitored by traffic.

The FBI has speculated that the hackers may have been sponsored by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and that the hackers may have been associated with another large group of hackers supporting the Iranian government, Handala. The group most recently attacked a major medical tool developer, Stryker, to the effect of thousands of employees' work devices.
