Hackers believed to be associated with the governments of Russia, Belarus and China are targeting Ukraine, Poland and European governments, researchers say, ranging from espionage attempts to phishing campaigns and coinciding with the intensification of the Russian assault on Ukraine. Shane Huntley, the director of Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), said in a blog post Monday that the group has observed well-known Russian military hacking group Fancy Bear (also known as APT28) conducting several large credential phishing campaigns targeting UkrNet, a Ukrainian media company.

Then something changed, according to the security firm Kaspersky. What began as a small campaign — ultimately affecting approximately 100 Myanmar victims that Kaspersky identified — leapfrogged to another country, the Philippines, where the victim count exploded to 1,400 and included some government entities. Kaspersky researchers on Wednesday detailed the extent of the campaign, and who they believe is behind it. But they remain unsure why it evolved the way it did, even if they have some informed guesses. The investigators attributed the infections to a group […]
