According to a report from “The Hacker News”, one of Iran’s oldest hacking groups known as “Infy”, has resumed its operations. The group, also known as “Prince of Persia” previously targeted opponents of the Iranian Regime in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Turkey.

The report notes that this group is not only one of the oldest Iranian hacking groups but one of the oldest hacking groups in the world, having been first identified in 2004.

Interestingly, compared with other Iranian hacking groups, Infy has remained relatively unknown. It typically uses phishing emails to deliver two types of malware known as “Foudre” and “Tonnerre”, to compromise the victim’s network.

Experts at cybersecurity firm “SafeBreach” say the group stills uses an updated of Tonnerre, but its attack chain has evolved; instead of an Excel file, it now delivers an executable file to establish a C2C connection.
