The cyber intelligence firm Recorded Future is warning that a new generation of sophisticated hackers is emerging from the Russian war in Ukraine as activist-minded operators get hands-on cyberwar training that could be used outside the conflict.
A new generation of sophisticated hackers is emerging from the Russian war in Ukraine as activist-minded operators get hands-on cyberwar training that could be used outside the conflict, the cyberintelligence firm Recorded Future warns.
Cyberattacks leveraging “hacktivists” swelled in March 2022, soon after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, according to a report from Recorded Future published Friday. Such crowdsourced digital attacks involve a central activist hacker sharing a hit list to throngs of devoted followers, who victimize targets while the lead actor claims responsibility for the ensuing damage and chaos.
To analyze digital threats and the actors behind them, Recorded Future uses a natural language processing system, language analysis, optical character recognition analysis for images, and other tools to scrape digital sources. Recorded Future tracked about 100 pro-Russian hacktivist groups during the war’s first 100 days. Killnet emerged as the leader in the war’s first year. Just five major pro-Russian hacktivist groups remained as of Feb. 10.
Other cyberattackers on the digital battlefield have experience in cybercriminal gangs. Google said last week that it saw former members of the Conti ransomware gang, which has hit U.S. infrastructure, repurpose their techniques to aim at Ukraine under the banner of UAC-0098.
