Microsoft has unveiled a new campaign to crack down on SolarWinds hackers

The group behind the majority SolarWinds and hacks Microsoft has also been active in the development of email marketing, according to Microsoft. In a blog post VP Tom Burt, he said the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has it has been found funde la Terrorists and the Nobelium movement against government agencies, think tanks and non-governmental organizations. Nobelium apparently sent 3,000 e-mails to 150 organizations after contacting Constant Contact, a public relations service run by the United States Agency for International Development or USAID.

While most of the goals are in the United States, they have spread to 24 countries. At least a quarter of those who have been involved in humanitarian and human rights activities have thus become increasingly critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The attack on SolarWinds is believed to be a campaign supported by Russia, as well as by the United States government he retaliates releasing 10 Russian ambassadors to Washington, DC. The Ministry of Economic Affairs also ordered six Russian-language companies that were allegedly involved in the production of cyberattacks.

According to Microsoft, it first recognized the campaign on January 25, even though Nobelium did not use the USAID USAID account to tackle targets at the time. The camp has changed several ways since then, and it was on May 25th that MSTIC confirmed the group’s size by sending 3,000 e-mails with valid USAID addresses via mail.

Unfortunately, most emails were blocked by the alarm system because of the amount of emails sent. Moreover, the records were not secret. The New York Times reported that one of the e-mails released also referred to the message that “Donald Trump has published new e-mails on election fraud.” It is then linked by a URL that downloads the malware to the victim’s computer when clicked. Microsoft says some of the old emails that have been released may have been sent successfully, however, and I would advise those who may encounter them to make sure they are fully protected.

Burt wrote his essay:

“This seems to be a continuation of Nobelium’s efforts to crack down on government agencies involved in foreign policy as a way to mobilize intellectuals … in line with SolarWinds’ attack, it is clear that part of Nobelium’s game book is gaining access to reliable providers and providing their clients. By repaying debt by changing software and now more e-mails, Nobelium increases the risk of damage to spyware and reduces dependence on the environment. “
