Russian hackers aren’t just targeting Ukraine — they also appear to be going after their defense contractors in other countries, new ESET research surmises.

The malware-laced files include draft versions of diplomatic statements, correspondence letters, internal administrative notes and other documents.

Microsoft and OpenAI say hackers from China, Iran, North Korea and Russia are exploring the use of large language models in their operations. 

Strontium — a group linked to Russian military intelligence — was using the domains to target Ukrainian institutions, Microsoft said.

Polish, Ukrainian and European targets are facing a barrage of cyber operations, researchers say.

Nation-state hackers might not want to get on China's bad side, but athletes, officials, volunteers and fans should watch their phones.

The group shares some similarities with Fancy Bear, but is a separate organization, Trend Micro found.

The targets of Fancy Bear's brute force attacks include both government agencies and the private sector, the advisory alleges.

Why waste a prized hacking tool when email will do just fine?

Norway's allegation against Fancy Bear follows Germany's blaming of the group for a 2015 hack on that country's parliament.
