Quote:Since September, the cyber espionage actors have targeted more than 130 victims in 30 organizations including NGOs, oil and gas, and telecom businesses.
Cyber espionage group Seedworm has been on a tear recently, extending its targets to the telecom, IT services, and oil and gas industries.
According to new research from Symantec's DeepSight Managed Adversary and Threat Intelligence (MATI) team, Seedworm - aka MuddyWater - is constantly evolving, as well as relying on publicly available tools to launch hundreds of successful attacks. Seedworm has been in operation since at least 2017, with its most recent activity occurring this month. Recent attacks aimed to collect data on targets mostly in the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
