Russian GRU Targeting Western Logistics Entities and Technology Companies

A joint cybersecurity advisory reveals that Russian GRU unit 26165 has been targeting Western logistics providers and technology firms involved in aid delivery to Ukraine. Using a blend of brute-force attacks, spearphishing, and exploitation of software vulnerabilities, the campaign seeks to access sensitive data like shipment details and infrastructure plans. The attackers have even tapped into IP cameras at border crossings and transit hubs to monitor movements. Agencies urge heightened monitoring, network segmentation, and Zero Trust architectures to defend against these evolving threats.
