Recent reports have shed light on a persistent cyber campaign by Iranian hackers targeting former and current US officials across multiple administrations. The hackers, believed to be linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have employed sophisticated phishing schemes to gain access to sensitive information.
In one instance, hackers impersonated a former administration official and attempted to lure US-based Iran hawks into clicking on a malicious link disguised as a manuscript review request. Another incident involved a former Biden administration senior diplomat who received a phishing email under the guise of a think tank research inquiry.
