MoKhargosh is an unattributed intrusion cluster associated with Iran-related conflict-period activity observed during late 2025 through early 2026. It has demonstrated both espionage capability and destructive potential. Reported behavior includes use of a bootkit-style wiper and retention of destructive tooling for possible later deployment, indicating an operator able to combine intelligence collection with disruptive or destructive effects. MoKhargosh has been discussed alongside the similarly unattributed Rusty Boots cluster in the context of attacks against states perceived as hostile to Tehran during the war in Iran. Publicly available information in this context does not support a firm attribution to a named state sponsor or a broader alias set beyond MoKhargosh itself.
