NilePhish is an attacker group identified by Amnesty International in connection with phishing attacks targeting Egyptian human rights defenders, media, and civil society organization staff. Amnesty reported on these operations in March 2019. In September 2019, Amnesty linked NilePhish to a campaign distributing a FinSpy Windows dropper via a fake Adobe Flash Player update site, flash.browserupdate[.]download. Additional NilePhish-linked delivery mechanisms included malicious macro-enabled Word documents and a .NET downloader, clean.downloader.exe. Amnesty tied this infrastructure to NilePhish through shared developer artifacts, including the username "shenno," related phishing domains, and overlapping hosting patterns. Amnesty observed the group using Offshore Servers for much of its phishing infrastructure since 2018, and Check Point independently confirmed links among NilePhish, Offshore Servers infrastructure, and the operator nickname "shenno" in October 2019. In February 2020, the subdomain files.browserupdate[.]download acted as a reverse proxy to Cobalt Strike infrastructure. Amnesty noted it did not confirm how NilePhish obtained FinSpy. The content does not attribute NilePhish to a specific nation state, but its activity is described in the context of targeting Egyptian civil society.
