Infy Hackers Crawl Back from the Dead and Resume Their Nonsense

Oh, bloody brilliant. Just when you thought the cyber pest known as Infy had buggered off into the digital graveyard, the bastards are back — popping up after Iran’s internet blackout like a cockroach that survived the nuclear holocaust. These sneaky sods, long suspected of operating out of Iran, have kicked their nasty little espionage campaign back into gear with shiny new Command and Control (C2) servers. Because apparently, the old ones weren’t evil enough.

Researchers (a.k.a. the poor bastards who have to look at packet dumps all day) spotted Infy’s malware families, Foudre and Tonnerre, doing their thing again — phishing the hell out of unsuspecting targets, nicking documents and emails, and generally being a monumental pain in everyone’s digital arse. The group’s being crafty this time, revamping its infrastructure and slipping under defenses like the smug little cyber-goblins they are.

Of course, the blackout apparently gave them “time to regroup.” Which is hacker-speak for, “We got drunk, rewrote some sloppy code, and relaunched our malware empire.” Organizations are now advised to use actual security tools instead of wishful thinking to stop this nonsense. Because if there’s one thing Infy loves more than malware, it’s finding unpatched systems run by morons who still think passwords like password123 are perfectly fine.

So yeah, the internet’s gone to shit again. Infy’s back, everyone’s vulnerable, and we’ll probably be writing about the next version of their crapware in six months when they slap a new name on it and call it innovation.

Reminds me of the time some intern thought disabling the firewall would “improve network performance.” It sure did — for the hackers, who got in faster than free pizza at a dev meet.
