The Spy Kittens Are Back: Rocket Kitten 2

Joint Trend Micro and ClearSky analysis of the Rocket Kitten campaign: an active, politically motivated espionage group targeting individuals (diplomats, researchers, journalists and defense‑adjacent personnel) primarily in the Middle East via persistent spear‑phishing, social engineering, and both off‑the‑shelf and bespoke malware (notably the TSPY_WOOLERG keylogger and Meterpreter-based backdoors). The report includes technical analysis, timeline, IOCs (IP addresses, SHA‑1s), case studies, and recommended defensive measures.
