The war in Ukraine has prompted a resurgence in activity by the notorious Russian APT28/Fancy Bear group, the French ANSSI cybersecurity agency has said.
According to a brief report published by the agency this week, Targeting and Compromise of French Entities Using the APT28 Intrusion Set, the group now aggressively targets the networks of government organizations and companies connected to Ukraine’s allies, including France.
Since 2021, the group has targeted specific industrial sectors including aerospace, financial services, think tanks and research, local government, and government ministries.
