• Media coverage highlights named actors and campaigns, such as groups often tracked in cybersecurity research (for example, entities historically associated with Russia’s GRU or FSB) that have targeted sectors ranging from critical infrastructure to government networks. This helps explain the evolving threat landscape and why organizations are urged to maintain robust cyber hygiene and incident response readiness.[4][6]
