Read more: www.cisa.gov

Iranian state-sponsored cyber actors are using brute force tactics to compromise organizations across critical infrastructure sectors, including healthcare, government, information technology, engineering, and energy. Their goal is to steal credentials and sell access to cybercriminals, potentially enabling further malicious activities. This attack leverages brute force techniques like password spraying and MFA push bombing to gain access to user accounts. Once inside, they conduct reconnaissance to gather more credentials, escalate privileges, and collect information on the victim’s network.
