That WhatsApp from an Israeli infosec expert could be a Iranian phish

Check Point attributes a recent spear-phishing campaign to Iran’s Charming Kitten (aka APT42 / Educated Manticore) that used more than 130 domains, email and WhatsApp lures, and impersonation of Israeli security analysts to phish credentials and two-factor codes from journalists, cybersecurity experts, and university researchers; phishing pages mimicked Google authentication and were pre-filled with victims’ addresses to enable account takeover, and attackers may also be pursuing in-person meetings for further intelligence or harm.
