MalekTeam is an Iranian-linked threat actor group that emerged in October 2023, operating primarily as a ransomware and wiper group. The group is assessed with moderate confidence to be tied to Iranian military intelligence, evidenced by its timing of emergence coinciding with the Israel-Hamas conflict and a consistent focus on Israeli organizations. While their attacks include financial extortion through ransomware, they often employ destructive wiper malware, sometimes disguised as ransomware, suggesting a motivation that encompasses both financial gain and geopolitical disruption. They utilize double extortion tactics, exfiltrating data and threatening its public release in addition to encrypting victim systems.
