U.S. Government also Targeted by Malware Used In Attacks on Israelis, Palenstinians

**Executive summary:** Trend Micro reports an ongoing malicious email campaign delivering a variant of the Xtreme Remote Access Trojan (Xtreme RAT) via RAR attachments titled "Report & Photos: IDF operations in Gaza," initially targeting Israeli and Palestinian government addresses and subsequently expanding to include U.S. State Department, U.S. Congress, UK government, and other international targets; the campaign appears aimed at information theft and may be opportunistic cybercrime that could result in access to high-value government networks.
