russia spies on embassies through hacker attacks
russia uses cyberattacks to spy on foreign embassies
▫️ According to the latest Microsoft report, hackers working under russia’s fsb conducted a cyber-espionage campaign against foreign embassies in moscow. Using the ApolloShadow malware, which masquerades as antivirus software from the russian company Kaspersky, the hackers gained access to sensitive diplomat data, including passwords, logins, and authentication tokens.
This confirms that russia actively uses cyber-espionage as part of its hybrid warfare, seeking intelligence and manipulating information to strengthen its influence. Such operations undermine international security, and russia continues to employ cyber threats as a tool of pressure against other nations.
