Pro-Russian Gamaredon APT group has evolved over the last few months, introducing new components to boost its offensive power against the Ukrainian government. Gamaredon group has ramped up the scale of its operations, attacking a larger number of victims, and adapting its tools and social engineering implementation to specific targets. Gamaredon activities serve as a testing ground for the Russian military to observe the potential of cyber warfare in a contemporary violent conflict or in a state-wide political confrontation. By performing efficient cyber espionage actions against institutions like the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Ground Forces Academy, Gamaredon increases the military preparedness of the Donbas militias and local paramilitary groups.
