"'Sandworm' Group Is Russia's Primary Cyberattack Unit in Ukraine"

According to an investigation conducted by Google Cloud's Mandiant security group, over the past two years, the "Sandworm" hacker group has played a major role in supporting Russian military objectives in Ukraine. The group has been increasing cyber threat operations in other areas of strategic political, economic, and military interest to Russia. Researchers found that Sandworm, also tracked as APT44, has been responsible for almost all disruptive and destructive cyberattacks in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022. Mandiant assessed that the threat actor established itself as the primary cyberattack unit within Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) as well as among all Russian state-backed cybergroups. No other hacking group appears to be as fully integrated with Russia's military operators as Sandworm currently is. This article continues to discuss Sandworm being Russia's main cyberattack unit in Ukraine.
