A hacking group linked to Ukraine's main spy agency the SBU has launched a destructive cyber-attack against a Moscow ISP in retaliation for Russia's takedown of Kyivstar last month, according to reports.
It's also unclear if or when the promised major attack in retaliation for Kyivstar will come.
In what is claimed to be the most destructive attack since Russia's invasion, Sandworm was able to dwell without discovery inside Kyivstar's networks for months before the attack, Reuters claimed.
Chris Anthony, a US military intelligence veteran and current CEO of TeamWorx Security, argued that organizations are still struggling to identify living-off-the-land techniques that enable hackers to stay hidden.
In better news for Ukraine, the country's main military intelligence directorate claimed on Monday that it had received 100GB of classified data from Russian firm Special Technology Center.
The sanctioned firm produces Orlan drones and other intelligence equipment for the Russian military.
