Mandiant said in its report Monday that hackers linked to Russia's SVR foreign intelligence agency have continued to mine data, AP reported. However, the number of breached agencies and companies was smaller compared to last year, according to Mandiant's chief technical officer, Charles Carmakal.
Carmakal said that the effects of the hacks were serious, and that the impacted companies are"also losing information." An assessment of damage from the hacks is made more difficult since not all companies are saying whether they've been attacked"because they don't always have to disclose it legally," Carmakal added.
The Mandiant findings follow an October report from Microsoft that the hackers, whose umbrella group it calls Nobelium, continue to infiltrate the government agencies, foreign policy think tanks and other organizations focused on Russian affairs through the cloud service companies and so-called managed services providers on which they increasingly rely. Mandiant tips its hat to Microsoft's threat researchers in the report.
Mandiant researchers said the Russian hackers"continue to innovate and identify new techniques and tradecraft" that lets them linger in victim networks, hinder detection and confuse attempts to attribute hacks to them. In short, Russia's most elite state-backed hackers are as crafty and adaptable as ever.
Mandiant did not identify individual victims or describe what specific information may have been stolen but did say unspecified"diplomatic entities" that received malicious phishing emails were among the targets.

Why isn’t our leadership addressing this problems, and attack these hackers with our hackers. Fire with fire.don’t keep arming Ukraine, is Russia is going to invade. It will be like Afghanistan, the weapons will end up in the enemies hands.
Any entity, anyone, can be hacked. Would not be surprised to learn if nearly every nation has hacking orgs, capabilities, be they military, government, business, or criminally supported.
