An Iranian nation-state threat actor, tracked as Scarred Manticore, primarily targets government, military, and telecommunications sectors in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, and Israel. According to researchers at Check Point, one of the companies investigating the group's ongoing espionage campaign, Scarred Manticore has conducted secret operations in Middle Eastern countries over the past few years, infiltrating telecommunications and government entities to systematically exfiltrate data from their systems.
