Thu Oct 03 2024
A bunch of skilled Russian hackers causing chaos in the digital world. They've been caught red-handed, leaving a trail of damaged security and stolen secrets. For months, experts have tracked their moves, trying to unravel a web of sneaky hacking attempts. The goal? To disrupt pro-democracy groups and organizations. These hackers use clever tricks like phishing attacks to get into sensitive data. They find weaknesses in systems to spread their influence. Since January 2023, they've targeted over 30 places, stealing information and trying to discredit them. This shows just how big a threat Russian cyber attacks are. One of Russia's spy agencies, the FSB, is behind this. They've been using cyber campaigns to mess up efforts supporting Ukraine. But here's an interesting twist: many organizations have been slow to react. Now, a group dedicated to protecting civil society has filed a lawsuit with Microsoft to stop these hackers. This sends a strong message that democracies won't just sit back and let foreign actors cause trouble.
