Pro-Israeli Hacktivist Group Predatory Sparrow Reappears

Its been a year since its last communication and attack on Iran — but the conflict with Hamas appears to have reactivated the group.

A pro-Israeli hacktivist group named Predatory Sparrow re-emerged in the past week.
Citing the current Gaza conflict, last week the group sent the first
tweet
in more than a year the group, saying: You think this is scary? Were back. We hope youre
following the events in Gaza
— with a link to a report on the US sending fighter planes and warships to support Israel.
Predatory Sparrow is a known threat that researchers believe to be a relatively sophisticated Israeli hacking operation. It has a history of destructive attacks in Iran, designed to embarrass the Iranian government.
According to
Cyberscoop
, in October 2021 an attack was carried out
on an Iranian payment system
linked to a national network of fuel pumps, while in June 2022
multiple attacks
were carried out on steel facilities apparently in response to unspecified acts of aggression carried out by the Islamic Republic.
John Hultquist, chief analyst for Mandiant Intelligence at Google Cloud,
said at a press event last week
that having taken credit for a series of attacks inside Iran, the groups timely reappearance makes it certainly a player to watch.
