Pro-Ukraine hacker group Black Owl poses ‘major threat’ to Russia, Kaspersky says

Posted on June 3, 2025 by Dissent

Daryna Antoniuk reports:

A little-known hacking group has emerged as a major threat to Russian state institutions and critical industries, carrying out attacks aimed at causing maximum disruption and extracting financial gain, according to a new report.

BO Team, also known as Black Owl, has been active since early 2024 and appears to operate independently, with its own arsenal of tools and tactics, researchers at Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky said.

Among the group’s most disruptive operations was a cyberattack last month that reportedly wiped out about a third of Russia’s national electronic court filing system.
