StrifeWater: Unmasking the New RAT Deployed by Iranian APT Moses Staff

The Iranian APT group Moses Staff deployed a new, previously undocumented Remote Access Trojan (RAT) called StrifeWater for its cyber-espionage and disruption operations. The StrifeWater RAT has been used in initial attack stages, demonstrating various capabilities like listing system files, executing system commands, creating persistence, and downloading updates. Post-infection, it's replaced with ransomware not for financial gain but to disrupt operations and inflict system damage. Victims of these attacks span globally across countries like Israel, Italy, India, Germany, Chile, Turkey, UAE, and the US.
