The Iranian hacking group MuddyWater has been detected using a new backdoor called UDPGangster, which employs the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for command-and-control operations. Recent cyber espionage activities have targeted users in Turkey, Israel, and Azerbaijan, as reported by Fortinet FortiGuard Labs. This malware facilitates remote control of compromised systems, enhancing the group’s capabilities in cyber operations. The ongoing threats underscore the need for robust cybersecurity measures in the affected regions.
