Iron Man System is a commercial phishing-as-a-service kit sold to criminal customers as a self-hosted, container-distributed package. It provides thousands of localized templates impersonating banks, postal and courier services, government agencies, traffic authorities, healthcare providers, telecommunications companies, and retailers. Campaigns use email and SMS lures, including unpaid tolls, traffic fines, parcel-delivery problems, and account-verification requests, to direct victims to fraudulent websites and steal credentials, payment-card information, and verification codes. Its geographic coverage includes the United States, Japan, Australia, and India.
The platform uses a Go backend built with GoFrame and offers a bilingual Chinese-English administration interface. WebSocket communications transmit victim submissions, while Telegram notifications and interactive controls allow operators to monitor victim progress and determine subsequent phishing screens. Geographic restrictions, fake CAPTCHA gates, IP-based filtering, and anti-analysis settings obstruct automated inspection and security research. Subscription licensing requires recurring authorization through vendor-operated infrastructure.
Iron Man System is associated with Chinese-speaking cybercriminal developers collectively tracked by Microsoft as Storm-2990, alongside the developers of CoGUI and Haozi. It is sold through YAM Store, a separate marketplace tracked as Storm-3119 that supplies compromised or fraudulently obtained cloud resources for phishing operations. Microsoft, Health-ISAC, law enforcement, and industry partners coordinated disruption of infrastructure supporting this ecosystem in October 2026.
