BladedFeline is an Iran-aligned APT group that has been active since at least 2017, targeting Iraqi and Kurdish government officials for cyberespionage. The group employs a variety of tools, including the Shahmaran backdoor, Whisper, and PrimeCache, which is a malicious IIS module. BladedFeline utilizes techniques such as spearphishing (T1566), exploiting public-facing applications (T1190), and timestomping to maintain access and exfiltrate data. The group is assessed with medium confidence to be a subgroup of OilRig, focusing on strategic access to high-ranking officials in the region.
The same group is tracked under different names by different vendors.
