A wave of sophisticated spear phishing emails captured by Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab suggests that the same Russian-linked hacking group responsible for a historic cyberattack on the 2018 Winter Olympics is now targeting biochemical research and domestic financial organizations. Dubbed the “Sandworm Group” by security analysts, the attackers gained notoriety earlier this year when a destructive hacking tool aimed at the IT network attached to the Winter Olympics caught the attention of multiple intelligence agencies. That tool, known as “Olympic Destroyer,” allowed for malware to spread within multiple confined IT environments, quickly deleting boot records and other forensic artifacts while also simultaneously siphoning off sensitive user credentials. CyberScoop previously reported that Sandworm had hacked into the 2018 Olympic games primary IT provider, Atos, months before the event began. One related phishing email that uses a booby trapped Microsoft Word document explicitly mentions a biochemical threat research conference held in Switzerland, which is organized by Spiez Laboratory.

The recent attack on the Winter Olympic Games has served as a reminder of an information security fundamental: attribution is hard. Especially when that attribution results in different companies pointing fingers at different foreign groups, potentially leading to geopolitical repercussions. Case in point: Hackers reportedly acting on behalf of the Russian government were recently posited as the group behind a unique computer virus that disrupted the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics, according to The Washington Post. Prior to the Olympics, cybersecurity firms McAfee and ThreatConnect found some evidence that a mysterious collage of hackers were targeting the Olympics by breaching related, third-party organizations that were connected to the event. CyberScoop also reported that the Olympic’s primary IT provider, Atos, was likely hacked months before the opening ceremony disruption. Dubbed “Olympic Destroyer” by security researchers, the malware was littered with code fragments tied to past, known breaches caused by at least […]
