Communications Security Establishment Canada | Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications Canada - Canadian Centre for Cyber Security Warns of Iranian Social Engineering Campaigns On December 20th, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre), a part of the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE), published a report outlining how Iranian cyber threat actors zero in on targets, with the goal of accessing information of political, economic, or military intelligence value to Iran. The Cyber Centre is releasing this report through CSE’s mandate to provide information assurance on cyber security: acquiring, using, and analyzing information from the global information infrastructure, or from other sources, to provide advice, guidance, and services to help protect electronic information and information infrastructures – to keep Canadians safe and secure. In the report, the Cyber Centre assesses that Iranian cyber threat actors are using sophisticated social engineering methods to enhance their spear phishing activities, including: Creating fake accounts with credible, attractive personas on multiple platforms Using professional interactions on social media platforms to build relationships with targets over long periods of time Luring their targets into engaging with them by referring to highly emotional content on geopolitical issues or traumatic events https://lnkd.in/eb2N2srG
