Multiple reports have documented specific TA397 campaigns, this one takes a holistic look at the group's activity and puts forward attribution elements pointing towards Indian state interests alignment.

Stellar work by @nickattfield.bsky.social and @threatray.bsky.social's researchers

Personal bias aside, that is still a must-read. Impressive work by @saffronsec.bsky.social grouping together multiple campaigns to provide a comprehensive view of APT state-sponsored actors using ClickFix. Here's to your first blog with us! 🥂
My first blog with Proofpoint is live! And we love a good crossover. State-sponsored actors try their hand at ClickFix - the hottest thing in cybercrime. Meet the North Koreans, Iranians, and Russians who are upping their social engineering game www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/thre...

Developing story - attack against #BGP peers of a European telco. The malicious emails impersonated that same telco and included the ASN of each recipient in the subject line.
The emails contained a password-protected RAR attachment with the malicious payload.
In December 11 and 12, 2024, a spearphishing campaign targeted at least 20 Autonomous System (AS) owners, predominantly Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and purported to come from the Network Operations Center (NOC) of a prominent European ISP.

Interesting susp targeted phish targeting an Italian telecom.
1) spoofing swisscom (note 'S', domain just reg'd)
2) leveraging encrypted rar + lnk + self signed pdf reader
3) BGP lure (fits with theme of email). BGP is the third leg in the outage triumvirate)
