About this actor
The hacktivist persona that claimed responsibility for the August 2012 Shamoon wiper attack against Saudi Aramco, which destroyed data on roughly 35,000 workstations. US intelligence subsequently attributed the operation to Iran-aligned operators, with the hacktivist branding serving as cover. A reference case for destructive hacktivism.
