Deep dive into hack against Iranian state TV yields wiper malware, other custom tools

The Jan. 27 hack of Iranian state broadcaster IRIB — which ran a message of support for opposition leaders and called for the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader — came with previously unidentified wiper malware, according to research that suggests the incident was more destructive than initially assumed. Researchers with Check Point, a Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity company, published the findings Friday based on what it said were files and other forensic evidence connected to the hack.

Details emerge on hack of Belarusian Railways and the group behind it

In the days after a group of Belarusian hackers announced they’d breached the network of the country’s railway system, encrypted data and demanded the expulsion of Russian troops and the release of political prisoners, a lot remains unclear. But the Belarusian Cyber Partisans, the hacktivist group behind the attacks, posted a series of screenshots to Twitter Monday afternoon showing what they say show “internal assets and docs” from the hack. The group also seemed to troll Belarusian Railways with a screenshot claiming that the agency’s employees “frequently used pirated software. Do you think it’s connected to how they got hacked?” the group asked. Screenshots taken during a #ScorchingHeat cyberattack on the #belarus railroad reveal that employees frequently used pirated software. Do you think it’s connected to how they got hacked? 🙃🙃🙃 pic.twitter.com/De2R6W4Jt3 — Belarusian Cyber-Partisans (@cpartisans) January 25, 2022 It’s unclear the the extent to which the group’s hack did any […]
