Agrius, also tracked as Pink Sandstorm, Agonizing Serpens, and Marshtreader, is an Iran-linked threat actor assessed to be associated with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security. Active since at least 2020, the group is known for operations aligned with Iranian strategic interests, particularly against Israeli targets. Reported activity includes reconnaissance against internet-exposed camera systems in Israel during June 2025, using known vulnerabilities to identify accessible video feeds for situational awareness and bombing damage assessment during regional tensions. This demonstrates a capability for targeted reconnaissance and scanning of exposed edge devices in support of intelligence collection. Based on the available facts, the group is best characterized as an Iranian espionage-oriented actor focused on reconnaissance and access to exposed systems, especially in Israel.
