Microsoft says it has found Iranian hackers targeting U.S. agencies, companies and Middle East advocates

By Ellen Nakashima and Ellen Nakashima National security reporter Email Bio Follow Spencer S. Hsu Spencer S. Hsu Investigative reporter Email Bio Follow March 27 at 2:31 PM In the latest of a string of security actions, Microsoft has seized 99 websites it says were used by Iranian hackers to launch cyberattacks against government agencies, businesses and users in Washington, according to a company blog post and court records unsealed Wednesday.

In the Phosphorus case, Microsoft filed suit March 14 against defendants identified as “John Does 1-2,” asking a federal court to halt the activity and allow the company to take over and disable websites used to hack, gain and keep access to victim networks, and steal sensitive data. Hultquist said FireEye believes the group known as APT 35 has links to the Iranian government and may be behind destructive cyberattacks on oil and gas companies in the Gulf region in recent years.

Microsoft and other online companies have grown increasingly active in countering such sites, although security experts liken their efforts to a game of Whac-A-Mole, with new attack methods evolving as others are shut down.
