US EditionRussian Hacker Black Owl Targets Critical Industries to Steal Financial Data
- In the past month, a pro-Ukrainian hacktivist collective operating under the names BO Team and Black Owl launched a cyberattack aimed at Russian government bodies and vital industrial sectors.
- The group gained initial access primarily through phishing emails with malicious attachments and cooperated with Ukrainian military intelligence in prior operations.
- Their offensive disrupted roughly one-third of Russia’s electronic court filing system and included unauthorized intrusions into the national agency responsible for digital signatures as well as a scientific research institution.

- This group's independent and strategic approach, characterized by delayed actions and Telegram intimidation tactics, positions it as a notable and evolving threat to Russia's digital infrastructure.
