There's been another exposure of Iranian hacking operations. Last month an unknown actor going by "Lab Dookhtegam" dumped code and other information belonging to the OilRig APT. This week another actor, perhaps independently, but more probably acting in coordination with the earlier leakers, dropped information via Telegram and various websites that describe other Iranian cyber operations.

This new group calls itself, ZDNet says, the "Green Leakers." The material released includes information on other Iranian cyber operators, specifically the MuddyWater APT and the Rana Institute. The latter has not hitherto been connected to Iranian hacking operations. This material doesn't, as the earlier leaks did, include source code, but it does contain screen shots and some information about the threat actors and their victims.

Clippy, the irritating anthropomorphic paperclip that cumbered Microsoft products in the 1990s, is back in an undead form. But it's proof-of-concept from Dutch cybersecurity consultancy Outflank, so no harm, no foul. Evil Clippy uses VBA stomping to prevent most antivirus tools from detecting the macros it's compromised.
