Cyber-Espionage Brew: How Peach Sandstorm’s Malware FalseFont is Spilling into the US Defense Industry

The Iranian APT33, or as we like to call them, ‘Peach Sandstorm’, is back with a bang, brewing up a cyber-storm with their new FalseFont malware. Targeting the U.S. defense industry, it’s clear they aren’t serving up peach cobbler but a piping hot cup of cyber-espionage. It’s a high stakes thriller, and the popcorn is optional.

Hot Take:

It's not all about the peaches and sandstorms, folks! APT33, also known as "Peach Sandstorm," is back in the headlines, and not because they've got a hit summer track. This Iranian threat group is dropping a new malware named FalseFont and it's making a splash in the U.S. defense industry. Apparently, the group has been refining its craft, not unlike a hipster barista perfecting his pour-over technique. Only this time, it's not artisanal coffee they're brewing, it's cyber-espionage.
