Infy, also known as Prince of Persia and APT-C-07, is an Iranian state-sponsored advanced persistent threat group conducting cyberespionage since at least 2007. Its targeting includes Iranian dissidents and citizens, regional government entities, and government and private-sector organizations across multiple continents. Its surveillance operations have targeted individuals in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, India, Canada, and Europe. The group uses spear-phishing and malicious document lures, including PowerPoint files, to deliver malware. Its tooling includes the Foudre and Tonnerre malware families and the newer Tornado implant. Infy operates multiple malware variants and domain generation algorithms in parallel and uses Telegram-based command and control to evade defenses. Tornado supports HTTP and Telegram communications, receives commands through Telegram bots, exfiltrates collected data, and establishes persistence through scheduled tasks. The group's tools also search compromised systems for cryptographic keys and certificates. Its sustained development of malware and command-and-control infrastructure supports long-running intelligence collection.
