Shrouded Snooper

Also known asshrouded_snooper

Shrouded Snooper is an Iran-linked threat actor referenced by Cisco Talos as a regional actor and by Mandiant as having tradecraft and targeting that parallel UNC1860, Scarred Manticore, and Storm-0861. The provided content does not include a direct standalone profile of Shrouded Snooper, but it places the actor in the context of Iranian cyber activity focused on the Middle East. Talos references Shrouded Snooper in prior research on regional actors and notes that Iranian-linked actors have historically conducted espionage, destructive attacks, and hack-and-leak operations. Mandiant states that UNC1860’s tradecraft and targeting parallel Shrouded Snooper, in the context of targeting government and telecommunications networks throughout the Middle East and using opportunistic exploitation of internet-facing systems, web shells, droppers, and stealthy passive implants to maintain access. Based on the provided content, Shrouded Snooper is associated with Iranian regional cyber operations and is discussed alongside Scarred Manticore and Storm-0861, but further high-confidence details, including confirmed aliases, sub-groups, or directly attributed tooling, are not available in the supplied material.
