Kyber Sprotyv: A group with ties to the Ukrainian government is breaching the email accounts of Russian military officers, politicians, and civilians


A group with ties to the Ukrainian government is breaching the email accounts of Russian military officers, politicians, and civilians.

Back in October 2016 for example, the Ukrainian hacking group CyberHunta (КиберХунта)—which is part of the UCA—publicly dumped emails belonging to Vladislav Surkov, then the top official overseeing Russia’s Ukraine policy and chief domestic adviser to President Vladimir Putin. Among others, the group published Morgachev’s passport, pictures with his wife, Yekaterina, his medical certificates, salary information, driver’s license, the model and number plate of his car, the address and purchasing contract of the apartment he lives in, and more. These documents made it possible to collect additional data and establish the identities of a number of officers from the military unit 75387.” All in all, Filatov’s inbox content enabled InformNapalm and Myrotvorets to identify and list 150 service members and several civilian contractors who are working for the 960th Regiment.
