Russian APT Hackers Attacking Critical Infrastructure - #Sandworm
Russian state-sponsored hacker groups, notably Sandworm, have intensified cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure in Ukraine, employing advanced malware like Kapeka/KnuckleTouch to infiltrate energy, water, and heating systems across multiple regions. The attacks, facilitated by compromised software supply chains, demonstrate a sophisticated level of customization and aim to amplify the impact of Russia's physical strikes. Sandworm's evolving arsenal, including tools for command execution, lateral movement, and persistence, underscores the continuous refinement of tactics by state-backed actors and the pressing need for robust cyber defenses to safeguard national security.
