Unmasking YoroTrooper: The Cyber Misfits from Kazakhstan Shaking Up the CIS World

Meet YoroTrooper, the new threat actor from Kazakhstan, with a penchant for attacking their own, especially the government’s Anti-Corruption Agency. Fluent in Kazakh and Russian, they’re experts in spear-phishing and credential harvesting. Don’t be fooled by their supposed Azerbaijan operations, YoroTrooper is as Kazakh as they come.

Hot Take:

Here comes another band of cyber misfits, YoroTrooper! And according to Cisco Talos, they're not shy about their roots. From their fluency in Kazakh and Russian to the fact that they pay their internet bills in Tenge, it's pretty clear they're from Kazakhstan. But don't let their love for their homeland fool you. They're more than happy to target their own, especially the government's Anti-Corruption Agency. Guess they don't like to be told off for bad behavior. Oh, and they also try to throw us off their scent by pretending to operate from Azerbaijan. Nice try, YoroTrooper, but we're onto you!
