A sub-group of the Molerats threat-actor has been using voice-changing software to successfully trick targets into installing malware, according to a warning from Cado Security.
The Molerats hacking group, also tagged as Gaza Hackers Team, Gaza Cybergang,DustySky, Extreme Jackal, and Moonlight, has been active since at least 2012, mainly targeting entities in the Middle East, but also launching attacks against targets in Europe and the United States.
Cado Security says that APT-C-23, believed to be part of Molerats, typically uses social engineering to trick victims into installing malware, and was previously observed impersonating women in attacks that leveraged social media sites to target soldiers in the Israel Defence Forces.
