This week, DefendEdge's CTI team explored the suspected pro-Ukrainian cyber espionage threat actor group Sticky Werewolf, first identified around March/April last year. The APT initially targeted the Russian and Belorussian governments. However, it has recently shifted its focus to include pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, and the aviation sector. The malicious activities comprise a complex mixture of phishing campaigns and malware deployment. This points to a highly competent, technologically sophisticated, well-equipped cybercriminal organization. The geopolitical context points to Sticky Werewolf's links with pro-Ukrainian cyberespionage groups or hacktivists. However, attribution remains uncertain.

In collaboration with Recorded Future, SentinelOne released a new report revealing findings of significant intrusions from Chamelgang, a China-backed Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, which has been disguising their operations as ransomware over the past three years. Beneath the cover of ransomware, attribution becomes more difficult and can point to independent cyber criminal actors rather than state-sponsored adversaries. Significant intrusions have targeted critical infrastructure in Brazil, East Asia, India, and have impacted various industries in Europe, South America, and North America, particularly the U.S. manufacturing sector. Attribution for these attacks remains unclear. I invite you to review the full report for further details.
