Kaspersky Lab has spotted new attacks by the Sofacy group which make use of several upgraded techniques designed for aggressive persistency and greater invisibility of malicious activity in the attacked system.
Sofacy (also known as “Fancy Bear,” “Sednit,” “STRONTIUM” and “APT28”) is a Russian-speaking advanced threat group that has been active since at least 2008, targeting mostly military and government entities worldwide.
