What happened
Israeli organisations have been targeted since September 2026 in a phishing campaign impersonating the Israel Tax Authority. The lures distribute SimpleHelp remote monitoring and management software disguised as tax documents, rather than exploiting software vulnerabilities. Investigators suspect MuddyWater, citing the targeting and the group's documented abuse of legitimate remote-access tools, but attribution remains unconfirmed.
