Researchers report a campaign dubbed Blinder Tunnel that targeted an Iraqi victim with a fake Dubai Airports coding test, delivering the ShelbyLoader V2 malware. The operation has been linked by security commentators to Iranian activity and critical infrastructure threats, with the malware reportedly distributed via GitHub. Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 is cited among those analyzing the technique, and defenders are being urged to watch for fake recruitment-style lures.
