Iran-linked hackers posed as job recruiters to target software engineers in the aviation, oil, and gas sectors, using fake job postings and malware-laced videoconferencing tools in an espionage campaign aimed at workers with access to critical systems, cybersecurity researchers said Friday.
The campaign targeted engineers connected to the aviation sector, a U.S. oil and gas company, and organizations in Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report from researchers at Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42.
