Hot Take:

Looks like Nobelium is back at it again, proving that they’re less like secret agents and more like that annoying pop-up ad that just won’t go away. If they put as much effort into solving world peace as they do into hacking, we’d be living in a utopia by now!

Key Points:

  • The Kremlin-backed hacking group Nobelium is targeting NATO and EU diplomatic entities.
  • Phishing emails were used to impersonate embassies and deliver malware.
  • The hackers employed new tools and malware such as SnowyAmber and Halfrig.
  • Previous campaigns by Nobelium have targeted the Ukrainian military and global organizations.
  • Recent international actions have been taken against Russian espionage activities.
