🚨 New Cybersecurity Advisory: Protecting Critical Infrastructure 🚨
The NSA, FBI, CISA, and global allies have issued a critical advisory concerning Russian military cyber actors actively targeting U.S. and international critical infrastructure. The report emphasizes that these adversaries continue leveraging advanced techniques to exploit vulnerabilities in vital sectors, posing serious national and global security threats.
Key takeaways from the advisory:
- Targeted sectors include energy, defense, telecommunications, and healthcare.
- Tactics include phishing campaigns, credential harvesting, and exploiting known vulnerabilities.
- Recommendations focus on proactive measures, patch management, and enhanced monitoring.
As the advisory states: "To mitigate this malicious cyber activity, organizations should take the following actions today:
- Prioritize routine system updates and remediate known exploited vulnerabilities.
- Segment networks to prevent the spread of malicious activity.
- Enable phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA) for all externally facing account services, especially for webmail, virtual private networks (VPNs), and accounts that access critical systems."
Cyber defenders must stay informed, remain vigilant, and ensure that our infrastructures are fortified against such threats and that their people are prepared to counter them.

The #FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and other partners have released a joint #CybersecurityAdvisory to provide the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) associated with Russian military intelligence Unit 29155 cyber actors—both during and after their January 2022 deployment of the destructive WhisperGate malware against Ukraine. These cyber actors are separate from other known and more established GRU-affiliated cyber groups such as Unit 26165 and Unit 74455: https://lnkd.in/ebu-nGE2
