Russia’s Malicious Cyber Activity Condemned
Britain has joined with its international partners to condemn malicious cyber activity by the Russian Intelligence Services. The Russian hacking group APT28 are capable cyber actors who have been active since at least 2004 and they are known by industry nicknames including Strontium, Sofacy Group, Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear, and Sednit
The UK has previously exposed APT28 as part of the GRU, the Russian military intelligence service. A UK government spokesperson said that the United Kingdom stands with the European Union, Germany, Czechia and other allies in strongly condemning malicious cyber activity by Russian Intelligence Services.
Recent activity by Russian GRU cyber group APT28, including the targeting of the German Social Democratic Party executive, is the latest in a known pattern of behaviour by the Russian Intelligence Services to undermine democratic processes across the globe.
On 7 December 2023, the UK exposed cyber attacks and attemps by the Russian Intelligence Service to target UK entites and high profile people through cyber operations. At the same time, we sanctioned 2 Russian nationals responsible for political interference.
With multiple elections around the world in 2024, raising awareness of the threat to the UK and our international partners remains vitally important for our collective resilience. As part of a broad coalition of allies, Britain has made clear to Russian that it will continue to identify, expose, and respond to such unacceptable activity.
