WIRTE
Aliases: Ashen Lepus, WIRTE
[WIRTE](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G0090) is a cyberespionage actor, believed to be a subgroup of the Hamas-affiliated Gaza Cybergang, that has been active since at least August 2018. [WIRTE](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G0090) has targeted diplomatic, financial, military, legal, and technology organizations across the Middle East, North Africa, and in Europe to gather intelligence. [WIRTE](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G0090) has remained persistently active despite the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and has expanded their operations to include wiper malware attacks against Israeli targets.(Citation: Lab52 WIRTE Apr 2019)(Citation: Kaspersky WIRTE November 2021)(Citation: Check Point Wirte NOV 2024)(Citation: Palo Alto Ashen Lepus DEC 2025)
