A group of Russian hackers linked to Moscow’s government have for seven years been targeting intelligence information from governments and organizations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, according to a new report from researchers at F-Secure.
The hacking group, named “The Dukes,” employed nine “unique malware toolsets” to hack computer networks and steal data, two of which are new variants that allowed researchers to connect the group to the Russian government.
“The research details the connections between the malware and tactics used in these attacks to what we understand to be Russian resources and interests,” said head researcher for the investigation Artturi Lehtiö. “These connections provide evidence that helps establish where the attacks originated from, what they were after, how they were executed, and what the objectives were. And all the signs point back to Russian state-sponsorship.”
