Ferocious Kitten is an Iranian cyber-espionage group that has been actively conducting covert surveillance operations since at least 2015, primarily targeting Persian-speaking individuals and organizations opposing the Iranian government. While initially operating under the radar, the group has evolved its tactics from direct executable delivery to sophisticated spear-phishing campaigns utilizing weaponized documents. Its defining characteristic is the consistent and highly targeted nature of its operations, employing politically themed decoy documents to lure victims into installing its custom malware, MarkiRAT. This group distinguishes itself through its sustained focus on a specific demographic within Iran and its adaptation of custom spyware, including the capability to target mobile devices.
