Risky Bulletin: EU finally imposes more cyber sanctions

The European Union imposed sanctions on three hacking groups and two individuals for cyberattacks targeting member states, including Iranian cyber contractor Emennet Pasargad, which was responsible for breaches affecting Charlie Hebdo, the 2024 Paris Olympics, and a Swedish SMS service. Emennet Pasargad had previously interfered in the 2020 US Presidential Election and faced multiple US sanctions between 2021 and 2024.

Why it matters: Organizations in EU member states and entities supporting major events need to heighten detection and response for Iranian state-nexus threats, as these groups have demonstrated persistence in targeting critical infrastructure and high-profile targets across continents.
