LAS VEGAS (Reuters) – Hackers believed to be working for the Iranian government have impersonated a young female photographer on social media for more than a year, luring men working in industries strategically important to Tehran’s regional adversaries, according to research published Thursday.The so-called Mia Ash persona has been active on sites including LinkedIn, Facebook Inc (FB.O), WhatsApp and Blogger since at least April of last year, researchers at Dell SecureWorks said.
The campaign showed Iran engaged in a social engineering plot to ensnare its targets with a ”honey pot”, a classic espionage trap often involving seduction, more commonly used by criminal hackers.
