Hot Take:

Well, isn't this an international kerfuffle! Gamaredon, the Russian-state hacker group known for its "Ukraine or Bust" attitude, seems to have adopted a more universal approach, mainly thanks to our old friend - the USB drive. Armed with a worm called LitterDrifter, these guys are proving that you don't need to be subtle to be effective. After all, they're now infecting systems worldwide, from the USA to Vietnam. It's like an unplanned vacation, but instead of postcards, they're sending malware.
