"Russian Hackers Targeted U.S. Nuclear Scientists"

According to Internet records reviewed by Reuters and five cybersecurity experts, a Russian hacking group known as Cold River targeted three nuclear research laboratories in the US this past summer. Cold River targeted the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)  between August and September in 2022, when President Vladimir Putin indicated Russia would be willing to use nuclear weapons to defend its territory. These findings were made based on Internet records showing hackers creating fake login pages for each institution and emailing nuclear scientists in an attempt to steal their passwords. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Cold River has intensified its hacking campaign against Kyiv's allies, according to cybersecurity researchers and western government officials. This article continues to discuss Russian hackers targeting US nuclear scientists.
