Attorneys are using the trial of a man who allegedly stole more than 100 million usernames and passwords from U.S. social media companies to hint at the murky, long-rumored relationships between Russian cybercriminals and the Kremlin’s intelligence agencies. Yevgeniy Nikulin, a 32-year-old St. Petersburg, Russia native, currently is on trial in San Francisco, accused of hacking into LinkedIn, Formspring and Dropbox in 2012 and obtaining 117 million users credentials. Roughly 30 million of those credentials were taken from Formspring. Prosecutors say he worked with a number of co-conspirators to gather and attempt to sell that data, including Nikita Kislitsin, who allegedly tried selling stolen Formspring data before he became an executive at Group-IB, and Alexsey Belan, a Russian man who made the introduction between Nikulin and Kislitin. In a recent filing, the government reproduced an email conversation in which, prosecutors say, Kislitsin was trying to sell the stolen Formspring data, and wanted Belan […]

Computer code used by hackers tied to Russia’s FSB intelligence agency has haunted governments around the world for years. The hackers’ tools have been associated with a damaging breach of U.S. military networks in the mid-to-late 1990s, and used in a cunning hijacking of Iranian infrastructure more than two decades later. Now, malware analysts have surfaced a new piece of code that they say the Russian hacking group, dubbed Turla, is using to spy on government websites in the Eurasian country of Armenia. The Turla operatives set up malicious web infrastructure known as a “watering hole” in an apparent attempt to surveil Armenian government officials last year. “It is likely that the Turla operators already know who they want to target and may even know the ranges of IP addresses they generally use” before carrying out an operation, said Matthieu Faou, malware researcher at ESET, the antivirus firm that discovered the campaign. ESET knows of […]

One of the Kremlin-linked hacking groups that breached the Democratic National Committee in 2016 has remained active in the years that followed, even if it’s been less visible. Cozy Bear, also known as APT29 and the Dukes, began using different malicious software and new hacking techniques after 2016, according to findings published Thursday by the Slovakian security firm ESET. There wasn’t much public evidence of the group’s activity, but researchers say it did not go quiet after interfering in the U.S. presidential election. The hackers targeted U.S. think tanks in 2017, defense contractors in 2018 and three European countries’ ministries of foreign affairs. (The U.S. security firm FireEye suggested in November that Cozy Bear was showing signs of activity.) “Our new research shows that even if an espionage group disappears from public reports for many years, it may not have stopped spying,” ESET said in its report. “The Dukes were able […]
