Sea Turtle’s Cyber Shenanigans: The Not-So-Stealthy Espionage Group Expands to the Netherlands

Turkey’s Sea Turtle Cyber Espionage group has waded into Dutch waters. Engaging in DNS hijacking and redirecting traffic, they’re as subtle as a chainsaw in a library. Their latest trick, SnappyTCP, is like a little brother – refusing to log off, even after bedtime. In the game of hide and seek, they’re always ‘it’.

Hot Take:

Sea Turtle, Turkey's state-backed cyber espionage group, has recently expanded its not-so-invisible footprint to the Netherlands. They're dabbling in the usual shenanigans - spying on unsuspecting organizations, hijacking DNS, and redirecting traffic. With their new toy, SnappyTCP, they're playing the long game - staying logged in even when they've clocked off. However, despite their attempts at stealth, they're about as subtle as a chainsaw in a library.
