ClearSky and Trend Micro release the results of their research into CopyKittens, which they characterize as a cyberespionage group, operating from and on behalf of Iran. The CopyKittens have been operating since 2013 at least; their interests are consistent with nation-state strategic intelligence objectives: legislative bodies, foreign and defense ministries, the defense and aerospace industry, academic research institutes, and so on. The nations principally targeted include Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United States, Jordan, and Germany. Some recent high-profile victims have been Germany's Bundestag and the Jerusalem Post. The group uses DNS for both command-and-control communications and data exfiltration. ClearSky and Trend Micro call CopyKittens' latest campaign "Wilted Tulip."
