Here's an interesting incident spotlighted in Microsoft's report. Personalized emails designed to undermine confidence in Kyiv. No malware, so apparently just for demoralization. The inclusion of targets' names suggests that the hackers may have used stolen government data. https://t.co/wueMog6IwT — PolitiTweet.org

“High concentrations of malicious network activity frequently overlapped with high-intensity fighting during the first six plus weeks of the invasion,” Microsoft said, though it acknowledged that this was only correlation so far, with no proof of "centralized tasking" in Moscow. — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft saw nearly 40 destructive malware attacks that affected “hundreds of systems across dozens of organizations in Ukraine” between 2/23 and 4/8. >40% aimed at critical infrastructure, 32% aimed at government targets. — PolitiTweet.org

In mid-March, amid Russian disinfo about Ukrainian chem/bio weapons, suspected Russian hackers breached a Ukrainian institution associated w/ past weapons disinfo. In late March, Russian hackers attacked a transpo & logistics firm in western Ukraine, where aid has been arriving. — PolitiTweet.org

Russian hackers have occasionally targeted the same sites and objectives as Moscow's kinetic military forces, Microsoft said in a report published today. Story: https://t.co/w2egR45d3G Report: https://t.co/EKsBX5SQh2 — PolitiTweet.org

Mandiant says it has gathered enough evidence to link the hacker group behind SolarWinds to APT29/Cozy Bear (Russian SVR). This matches the U.S. government's attribution. This group is "an evolving, disciplined, and highly skilled threat actor." https://t.co/2wLQsDCj86 — PolitiTweet.org

“If they wanted to arrange anything very destructive, they had two months for this,” Zhora said. Even so, he said, Russian cyber warfare “is strong and poses a significant threat.” There's been significant growth in the volume of attacks, he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Russia's “tools, technologies and groups are used fully,” Zhora said. Because Western cyber defenders understand Moscow's tools so well, he said, Russia's future intrusions likely won’t be “so serious or so sophisticated” as previous ones. — PolitiTweet.org

“We shouldn't underestimate Russian hackers,” Zhora said, “but we probably should not overestimate their potential, since their potential isn't growing now.” Zhora said it was unlikely that Russia had yet to deploy any “completely new technologies” against Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Russian hackers' capabilities have "likely reached their full potential, and we do believe that the international community will be able now to keep them at bay,” @dsszzi's @VZhora told reporters this morning. https://t.co/qjg5erG4sh — PolitiTweet.org

Really scary and a great reminder of how important it is for law enforcement agencies to secure their email systems. Your identity is a key that can unlock some seriously sensitive data. — PolitiTweet.org
