The energy sector is one of the most impacted areas because of the Iranian malicious activity in the region, including the lockdown of the Strait of Hormuz and drone\/missile attacks against the energy infrastructure of neighboring countries in the GCC, allies of the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Based on the artifacts collected by the threat intelligence team at Resecurity, the group is attacking supply chain vendors involved in engineering, safety, and construction. The data stolen as a result of such incidents is authentic but originates from a third party (of the target company), which may lead to incorrect assumptions about the origin of the breach. Notably, the focus of the attacks is centered on the energy sector, which has experienced significant financial and technological damage since the start of the war in Iran. Cyberspace is used to amplify it, following recent attacks against LNG and logistics providers.<\/p>\n<p>The group has targeted Dubai Petroleum (UAE), CC Energy Development (Oman), an Iraq-based organization in the oil and gas sector, Al-Safi Oil Company (PURE IN), which operates gas stations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and other regions. In all these cases, Resecurity\u2019s assessment indicated data theft from their vendors, such as engineering, construction companies, and safety equipment providers. However, there are still risks associated with this activity, as the documents acquired are authentic and may contain important information for adversaries.
