Iran-linked Blinder Tunnel campaign targets Iraqi critical infrastructure via fake Dubai Airports lures

Palo Alto Unit 42 reports an Iran-nexus campaign, Blinder Tunnel, using fake Dubai Airports recruitment lures and GitHub-hosted C2 malware to target Iraqi critical infrastructure. The operation indicates a state-aligned cyber espionage effort, with attribution based on infrastructure and TTPs. This matters as it signals continued Iranian cyber activity against Iraqi entities, potentially aiming to disrupt or surveil critical sectors.
