Microsoft says Russian-sponsored hacking groups are increasingly targeting US government agencies. 58% of all nation-state attacks observed by Microsoft between July 2020 and June 2021 come from Russia. The most active Russian-backed threat actor is an activity group tracked by Microsoft as Nobelium. Nobelium, believed to be the hacking division of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, is also tracked as APT29, The Dukes, or Cozy Bear. The company still has limited insight into attacks targeting on-premises systems managed by other tech vendors.”]
