APT28 Targets Ukrainian Government Entities with Malicious “Windows Update” Emails

CERT-UA has warned of cyberattacks conducted by Russian nation-state hackers targeting Ukrainian government entities.

The hackers sent phishing emails impersonating system administrators with fake Microsoft Outlook accounts.

CERT-UA is recommending organizations restrict users’ ability to run PowerShell scripts and monitor network connections to the Mocky API.

Other security firms have identified credential harvesting operations and exploitation of a Microsoft Outlook vulnerability in the region.

It is believed that Russian intelligence, military, and law enforcement services may have a relationship with cybercriminal threat actors.
