Description
Iranian cyber group Emennet Pasargad, operating as Aria Sepehr Ayandehsazan (ASA), has been linked to targeting the 2024 Summer Olympics and compromising a French display provider. The group, part of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, used AI software, fictitious hosting resellers, and psychological tactics in their operations. They targeted Israeli athletes, attempted to contact hostage families, and harvested information about Israeli military personnel. The US and Israeli agencies have exposed their tactics, including the use of cover personas and infrastructure obfuscation methods. The US State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information on the IRGC-associated hacking group Shahid Hemmat.
