Nobelium has targeted the French Ministry of Culture, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Agency for Territorial Cohesion (ANCT), and several French embassies. ANSSI has seen a rise in Nobelium-related activities amid geopolitical tensions, especially in Europe, over Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Most of these cyberattacks involved compromised legitimate email accounts belonging to diplomatic staff and phishing campaigns against target institutions.
