An investigation into the cyberattack targeting Iranian national media corporation, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), in late January 2022 resulted in the deployment of a wiper malware and other custom implants, as the country’s national infrastructure continues to face a wave of attacks aimed at inflicting serious damage.
“This indicates that the attackers’ aim was also to disrupt the state’s broadcasting networks, with the damage to the TV and radio networks possibly more serious than officially reported,” Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity firm Check Point said in a report published last week.
