This is the second attack since December that Black Shadow has targeted an Israeli-based company. Previously, it was believed that the group was Iranian and was using these attacks for cyber-terrorism, but those claims have been refuted. It is likely that the group is Iranian but it appears to be focused on financial profit rather than cyber-terrorism goals. It is unclear at this time how the attackers gained access to the company’s network. Companies should ensure that they have the proper defenses in place to prevent threat actors from breaching their systems. Organizations should make sure they are storing customer data properly and are utilizing a monitoring service such as Binary Defenses Security Operations Task Force that works 24/7 to monitor their endpoints for any signs of intrusions or attacks.
