The FSB state-sponsored operation has gotten a lot better at loading its malware and hiding its servers.
Editorial Analysis
Gamaredon is one of the most active Russian APTs; its improved evasion techniques will likely trickle into broader campaigns, and European entities in Ukraine's orbit — NGOs, energy, defence — should assume increased targeting.
Update threat-hunting playbooks with latest Gamaredon TTPs and validate that EDR and network-detection rules cover the group's new loader and infrastructure patterns.
A highly active Russian state hacking group has significantly improved its capabilities, raising risk for organisations connected to Ukraine.
