Microsoft Slaps Strontium: Tech Giant’s Takedown of Fancy Bear’s Cyber Shenanigans
With a flair for drama, Russian hacking group “Strontium” or “Fancy Bear” has been sashaying into Ukrainian firms like a cyber diva. However, Microsoft, the bouncer of this cyber club, has seized control of their domains, disrupting Strontium’s cyberattacks. It’s a cautionary tale that even Fancy Bear can’t crash the party without consequences.
Hot Take:
Move over, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear; it's Fancy Bear's time to shine! This Russian hacking group, aptly named Strontium, has a flair for the dramatic, sashaying into Ukrainian firms, media organisations, and government bodies like they own the place. But Microsoft, the bouncer at this cyber club, is having none of it. In an unprecedented power move, Microsoft seized control of seven Internet domains used by this cyber diva, marking the 15th time it has done so. So, Strontium, maybe next time you'll think twice before you try to crash the party.Already a member? Log in here
