The campaign exploits recent geopolitical developments to lure victims into opening malicious .LNK files disguised as protest-related images or videos, researchers Subhajeet Singha, Eliad Kimhy, and Darrel Virtusio said in a report published this week. These files are bundled with authentic media and a Farsi-language report providing updates from 'the rebellious cities of Iran.' This pro- protest framing appears to be intended to increase credibility and to attract Farsi-speaking Iranians seeking protest-related information.
