Damaging attacks from second and third-tier nation-state threat actors – especially in the Middle East - could become more of a pressing issue for enterprises next year if a couple of recent incidents are any indication.
Days after FireEye reported a recent attack where a likely nation-state actor disrupted operations at a critical infrastructure facility in the Middle East, there's another report of an ominous new cyberattack campaign targeting similar organizations in the region.
This time, the warning is from Nyotron, which says it has spotted a threat actor with likely links to Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Algeria using a repurposed malware tool to target specific critical infrastructure organizations in the Middle East.
