From Check Point Research: Nimbus Manticore Targets the US
#CheckPoint Research has revealed new campaigns of #Nimbus #Manticore, an IRGC-linked group that resurfaced during Operation #EpicFury with upgraded techniques. The campaigns use SEO poisoning and career-themed phishing across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and then delivered a new #MiniFast #backdoor.

Key Findings Introduction During the recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, we reported on multiple Iran-nexus threat actors advancing Iranโs strategic objectives through cyber operations. These activities included targeting internet-connected cameras, conducting destructive attacks against US and Israeli entities, and exfiltrating data from cloud environments to support broader kinetic and intelligence-gathering efforts. Nimbus Manticore (also tracked as UNC1549) is an IRGC-affiliated threat [โฆ]

Let us see if #Iran was stop supporting its proxies, the so called #AxisOfResistance.

#USA under #trumpery administration has stopped weapon deal with #Taiwan , claiming it's for they running out of arms in the #epicfury fiasco. It also could be that #trump got scared of master #xi and gave him what he wanted...

C'est le temps qu'il a fallu pour consommer trois ans de production de missiles #Patriot. C'est-ร -dire 1700 missiles.
