NCSC and Allies Warn of Iranian Spyware Campaign

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre and allied agencies issued a warning about Iranian Chosen Brick spyware, which targets dissidents and opposition figures. The malware is designed for surveillance and information gathering against activist communities.

Why it matters: Practitioners protecting journalists, NGOs, dissidents, and opposition groups should review endpoint detection signatures and threat intelligence feeds for Chosen Brick indicators, as this nation-state tool actively targets these populations.
