	"plain_text": "New Iranian Espionage Campaign By “Siamesekitten” – Lyceum –\r\nClearSky Cyber Security\r\nPublished: 2021-08-17 · Archived: 2026-04-05 12:44:59 UTC\r\nAt the beginning of May 2021, we detected the first attack by Siamesekitten on an IT company in Israel.\r\nSiamesekitten (also named Lyceum/Hexane) is an Iranian APT group active in the Middle east and in Africa that is\r\nactive in launching supply chain attacks. To this end Siamesekitten established a large infrastructure that enabled\r\nthem to impersonate the company and their HR personnel. We believe that this infrastructure was built to lure IT\r\nexperts and penetrate their computers to gain accesses to the company’s clients.\r\nThis campaign is similar to the North Korean “Job seekers” campaign, employing what has become a widely used\r\nattack vector in recent years – impersonation. Many attack groups are executing this type of campaign, such as the\r\nNorth Korean Lazarus campaign we exposed in the summer of 2020 (Dream Job) and the Iranian OilRig\r\ncampaign (APT34) that targeted Middle Eastern victims in the first quarter of 2021.\r\nIn July 2021, we detected a second wave of similar attacks against additional companies in Israel. In this wave,\r\nSiamesekitten upgraded their backdoor malware to a new version called “Shark” and it replaced the old version of\r\ntheir malware called “Milan”. Details of both versions are included in our report.\r\nThis report summarizes our findings regarding the latest Siamesekitten attacks and reviews the attack patterns and\r\nmalware used in this campaign.\r\nRead the full report:\r\nSource: https://www.clearskysec.com/siamesekitten/\r\nhttps://www.clearskysec.com/siamesekitten/\r\nPage 1 of 1",
