Cyber Risks · Cisco Talos

One mighty fine-looking report

Summary: Cisco Talos is tracking an ongoing campaign targeting users in Ukraine with malicious LNK files, compressed inside ZIP archives and disguised as Office documents, that run a PowerShell downloader. Talos assesses with medium confidence that the activity is associated with the Gamaredon threat actor group, which has used the invasion of Ukraine as a common phishing theme.

Why it matters: Gamaredon continues to lure Ukrainian users with file names tied to troop movements, so defenders in the region face a persistent actor recycling the same technique rather than a one-off campaign.
