Nobelium’s New Tricks: France Braces for Russian Cyber Mischief Ahead of Elections and Olympics
CERT-FR’s fresh report on Nobelium reveals the cyber crew’s latest tricks ahead of France’s major election and Olympic preparations. Known for the SolarWinds attack, Nobelium now focuses on diplomats and ministry officials. France suspects Russian interference, echoing past disinformation campaigns like the Macron leaks.
Hot Take:
France’s cybersecurity team CERT-FR is basically giving Nobelium the side-eye, and for good reason. With the Olympics and elections coming up, it looks like Nobelium is trying to go for gold in the cyber-espionage event. Good thing CERT-FR is on it like a mime on a baguette.
Key Points:
- Nobelium is the cyber gang linked to Russian intelligence, infamous for the SolarWinds attack.
- CERT-FR says Nobelium is distinct from APT29 and Dark Halo but still Russian-linked.
- Targeting diplomats and ministry officials with phishing attacks is Nobelium’s MO.
- France’s government and public sector have been under attack, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- There are concerns about increased Russian cyber activity as France preps for elections and the Olympics.
