Telecommunications firms in Egypt, Tanzania, and Sudan have been subjected to attacks by Iranian state-sponsored threat operation MuddyWater last month, reports The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. Several tools have been leveraged by MuddyWater to facilitate the attacks, including the new MuddyC2Go toolset and its PowerShell launcher for malware deployment; the SimpleHelp remote management software for continuous access to compromised devices and command execution; and the Venom Proxy software for managing intranet-connected devices, according to a report from Symantec.
