Iranian Cyber Threats Target Canadian Sectors

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security has issued a warning regarding advanced social engineering campaigns by Iranian cyber threat actors. These actors are targeting sectors such as defense, aerospace, energy, media, and civil society groups to gain access to sensitive political, economic, and military intelligence. The report highlights the use of sophisticated phishing tactics, including the creation of credible personas on social media platforms to engage and lure targets. This poses significant risks to data protection and cybersecurity within Canadian corporations and organizations operating in these fields.
