UK's cyber agency claims that Iranian and Russia state-linked hackers are increasingly attacking politicians and journalists.
The acceleration in spear-phishing campaigns last year coincided with the escalating conflict in Ukraine, according to the NCSC
Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York said the Iranian government had no knowledge of the group. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Cold River has escalated its hacking campaign against Kyiv's allies, cybersecurity researchers and western government officials told Reuters.
