Iranian Hackers Pose as Recruiters to Deliver Cross-Platform RATs Through Coding Tests
Kaspersky researchers attribute two previously undocumented cross-platform remote access trojans (RATs) to the Iranian Nimbus Manticore hacking group. The malware, written in Node.js and JavaScript, targets Linux and macOS systems in addition to Windows. The group has been observed posing as recruiters and delivering the RATs through fake coding tests.
Why it matters: Organizations hiring in technical roles face social engineering risk from Nimbus Manticore; security teams should brief recruiters and developers on adversary impersonation tactics and inspect suspicious test or interview code execution requests.
