In a thrilling episode of ‘Cybersecurity: The Circus Edition,’ Russian finance and accounting entities find themselves in the splash zone of Operation MoneyMount-ISO. Meanwhile, Phantom Stealer, the notorious villain of this digital soap opera, makes a dramatic entrance disguised as an innocent ISO optical disc image. Critics say it’s the most elaborate ISO performance since that time you tried to burn your aunt’s wedding video onto a CD.

Phishing emails, the relentless paparazzi of the cyber world, have been pestering the Russian sectors like they’re auditioning for a Broadway show. However, this time they’re upping their game with a Phantom flair, ensuring that finance officials have something to regret that’s not their cafeteria’s borscht special.

Seqrite Labs, the detectives of this digital whodunit, have labeled this act as a ‘wide-ranging’ attack. Of course, ‘wide-ranging’ in this context seems to mean ‘let’s spam everyone and see who guesses the attacker’s email password first.’ In another shocking twist, participants from the procurement, legal, and payroll departments are also dragged into the plot, probably because their LinkedIn skills section said something about ‘enjoys inbox surprises.’
