The Insider reports:
In September 2024, the FBI published an indictment against a group of hackers working for GRU Unit 29155, the same military unit that became famous for poisoning Skripal in Salisbury. It has long been known that the GRU has hacker units, The Insider was the first to prove this back in 2017, and then it was about military unit 26165, known as Fancy Bear or APT28 and famous for hacking Hillary Clinton, Emmanuel Macron and various international organizations. Later it turned out that another group, known as Sandworm ( military unit 74455), also works under the GRU’s roof, creating the most destructive virus NotPetya, turning off power plants in Ukraine and attacking NATO military facilities. But the fact that Unit 29155, which was engaged in murders and sabotage, also has its own hackers, sounded strange and surprising.
The Insider managed to gain access to the cache of the hacker group’s server log, which (recognizable GRU handwriting!) turned out to be unprotected. By comparing this with data from social networks and leaked databases, and by talking to some sources, The Insider reconstructed the picture of this group’s activities in all its details.
