Threat Overview

The Iranian hacktivist group Lord Nemesis, also known as 'Nemesis Kitten,' targeted the Israeli academic sector via a supply chain attack on Rashim Software, a provider of academic administration and training software. They breached Rashim's infrastructure and accessed its clients, including numerous academic institutions, by using stolen credentials and exploiting admin accounts on customer systems. This allowed them to extract sensitive data, circumvent multi-factor authentication, and instill fear by releasing findings and sending ominous warnings. The attack highlights the significant risks posed by third-party vendors and demonstrates the group's sophisticated planning and understanding of targeted IT environments.
