Western security agencies have alerted organizations about a sophisticated cyber campaign by Russia's GRU, known as Fancy Bear. This campaign, which began early in the Ukraine conflict, primarily targets logistics and technology firms involved in supporting Ukraine's defense. Techniques include credential guessing, spear-phishing, and exploiting vulnerabilities in software and infrastructure. Victims include sectors crucial for defense and transportation across NATO countries, while the campaign has expanded to other regional entities. UK organizations have been urged to adopt enhanced security measures in response to the threats posed by this persistent cyber intrusion.
"This malicious campaign by Russia's military intelligence service presents a serious risk to targeted organisations, including those involved in the delivery of assistance to Ukraine."
"The campaign, run through Unit 26165 of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU), includes credential guessing, spear-phishing attacks, and exploitation of vulnerabilities."
