FireEye, Inc. Analyst Notes
On May 13, 2014, FireEye, Inc. (FireEye) released "Operation Saffron Rose," a research report detailing the activities of a cyber-espionage group likely based in Iran. The group, which FireEye researchers are calling as the Ajax Security Team, has significantly moved ahead from defacing websites in 2009 to full-blown espionage against Iranian dissidents and U.S. defense firms. As per the findings of the report, Ajax's methodologies have grown more consistent with other advanced persistent threat (APT) actors in and around Iran following cyber-attacks against Iran in the late 2000s. Nart Villeneuve, Senior Threat Intelligence Researcher, FireEye, said "We have witnessed not only growing activity on the part of Iranian-based threat actors, but also a transition to cyber-espionage tactics. We no longer see these actors conducting attacks to simply spread their message, instead choosing to conduct detailed reconnaissance and control targets' machines for longer-term initiatives."
