Session
In May 2024, the NATO publicly condemned cyber espionage operations carried out by a Russian state-sponsored group against targets in Germany and Czechia. We track this group as ITG05 sharing overlaps with APT28, UAC-0028, Forest Blizzard and Fancy Bear. In addition to Germany and Czechia, a large number of NATO member states as well as the Ukraine have been subject to long-term intelligence gathering missions executed by ITG05. ITG05 is also linked to the hack of the German Bundestag in 2015 as well as the attacks targeting the 2016 US presidential elections.
