Researchers uncovered a cyber espionage campaign called “SilentSelfie” targeting Kurdish communities, exploiting 25 compromised websites with four variants of malicious JavaScript. The campaign, active since late 2022, utilized watering hole attacks and a covert Android application disguised as a news app to collect sensitive data, including location and contacts. The attackers employed obfuscation techniques and used compromised web servers for communication. A total of 21 Kurdish websites were affected, primarily linked to “Rojava” and Kurdish political entities. The campaign remained undetected for over 18 months, with potential links to Turkish intelligence, Syrian government agencies, and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq. Compromised sites included ‘RojNews’ and ‘YPG Rojava.’
