"Phishing, Smishing Surge Targets US Postal Service"

Security researchers at DomainTools have witnessed a significant increase in cyberattacks targeting the US Postal Service (USPS), mainly through phishing and smishing campaigns.  One smishing message raised suspicions due to its peculiar language, suggesting the involvement of a non-native English speaker or reliance on translation services.  The researchers traced a domain marked with a high-risk score, leading to the discovery of 163 related domains associated with email addresses following a familiar naming convention.  Deeper exploration revealed a Facebook account connected to one of these email addresses, shedding light on the potential identity of the threat actor, a suspected Iranian national residing and working in Tehran.
