La France condamne avec la plus grande fermeté le recours par le service de renseignement militaire russe (GRU) au mode opératoire d’attaque APT28, à l’origine de plusieurs cyber-attaques contre des intérêts français.
Depuis 2021, ce mode opératoire d’attaque (MOA) a été utilisé dans le ciblage ou la compromission d’une dizaine d’entités françaises. Ces entités sont des acteurs de la vie des Français : services publics, entreprises privées, ainsi qu’une organisation sportive liée à l’organisation des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques 2024. Par le passé, ce mode opératoire a également été utilisé par le GRU dans le sabotage de la chaîne de télévision TV5Monde en 2015, ainsi que dans la tentative de déstabilisation du processus électoral français en 2017.
APT28 est aussi employé pour exercer une pression constante sur les infrastructures ukrainiennes dans le contexte de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine, notamment lorsqu’il est opéré par l’unité 20728 du GRU. De nombreux partenaires européens ont également été visés par APT28 au cours des dernières années. À ce titre, l’UE a imposé des sanctions aux personnes et entités responsables des attaques menées à l’aide de ce mode opératoire.

The Russia-linked threat actor known as APT28 has been linked to multiple ongoing phishing campaigns that employ lure documents imitating government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Europe, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, and North and South America.
"The uncovered lures include a mixture of internal and publicly available documents, as well as possible actor-generated documents associated with finance, critical infrastructure, executive engagements, cyber security, maritime security, healthcare, business, and defense industrial production," IBM X-Force said in a report published last week.
Ukraine's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is warning of a new phishing campaign that allowed Russia-linked hackers to deploy previously unseen malware on a network in under one hour.
In three campaigns over the past 20 months, Russian APT Fighting Ursa has targeted over 30 organizations of likely strategic intelligence value using CVE-2023-23397.
