Russia behind a massive spear-phishing campaign that hit Ukraine

Ukraine warned of a massive spear-phishing campaign conducted by Russia-linked hackers against its government and organizations in the private industry. Three Ukrainian cybersecurity agencies (Ukrainian Secret Service, Ukrainian Cyber Police, and CERT Ukraine) issued an alert last week. The attackers pose as representatives for the Kyiv Patrol Police Department and warn recipients of problems with the payment of local taxes. The messages use a RAR archive as an attachment and trick victims into opening it. Upon downloading and opening the archive, an EXE file with a double extension is dropped on the system. The files will install a modified version of RemoteUtilities, a remote administration software.”]
