Russian hackers breach orgs to track aid routes to Ukraine

A Russian state-sponsored cyberespionage campaign attributed to APT28 hackers has been targeting and compromising international organizations since 2022 to disrupt aid efforts to Ukraine.

The hackers targeted entities in the defense, transportation, IT services, air traffic, and maritime sectors in 12 European countries and the United States.

Aktuelle Warnung vor Cyberangriffen auf den Logistik- und #Technologiesektor: Das BfV, das #BSI und der BND warnen aktuell vor Cyberangriffen, um #KRITIS auszuspionieren.

Verantwortlich für die Angriffe ist die Einheit 26165 des russischen Militärgeheimdienstes GRU und die dazugehörige Cybergruppierung #APT28, die sich beispielsweise mittels Spear-Phishing und Brute-Force-Angriffen unbefugten Zugriff auf die IT-Infrastruktur verschaffen.

Tiens, là il n'y a plus de chichi cyber-diplomatiques ou d'hypothèses : l'ANSSI attribue officiellement, par le biais du traçage des modes opératoires d’attaque, les dernières grandes attaques contre les institutions françaises au groupe russe APT28 ( aka Fancy Bear, Pawn Storm, Sofacy Group, Sednit, BlueDelta, et STRONTIUM) dans son dernier rapport intitulé "Ciblage et compromission d'entités françaises au moyen du mode opératoire d'attaque APT28 - ACTIVITÉS ASSOCIÉES À APT28 DEPUIS 2021".

Better late than never: The government of #France attributes a wide range of #cyberattacks dating back ten years, targeting the French-hosted 2024 Olympics, prior elections, and against entities like television networks, to Russia's GRU (#APT28), and condemns them, officially, in a statement posted to their website.

A machine-translated-to-English screenshot of the statement is shown below.

"Together with its partners, France is determined to use all the means at its disposal to anticipate, deter and respond to Russia’s malicious behaviour in cyberspace where appropriate."

Someone has to.

"For determined hackers, sitting in a car outside a target's building and using radio equipment to breach its Wi-Fi network has long been an effective but risky technique. These risks became all too clear when spies working for Russia's GRU military intelligence agency were caught red-handed on a city street in the Netherlands in 2018 using an antenna hidden in their car's trunk to try to hack into the Wi-Fi of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

Since that incident, however, that same unit of Russian military hackers appears to have developed a new and far safer Wi-Fi hacking technique: Instead of venturing into radio range of their target, they found another vulnerable network in a building across the street, remotely hacked into a laptop in that neighboring building, and used that computer's antenna to break into the Wi-Fi network of their intended victim—a radio-hacking trick that never even required leaving Russian soil.

At the Cyberwarcon security conference in Arlington, Virginia, today, cybersecurity researcher Steven Adair will reveal how his firm, Volexity, discovered that unprecedented Wi-Fi hacking technique—what the firm is calling a “nearest neighbor attack"—while investigating a network breach targeting a customer in Washington, DC, in 2022. Volexity, which declined to name its DC customer, has since tied the breach to the Russian hacker group known as Fancy Bear, APT28, or Unit 26165."
