FSB’s Matryoshka #1/3 – Gamaredon’s Gifts That Keep Unpacking – GammaPhish and GammaWorm

    Date: 06/02/2026

    Severity: High

    Summary

    Gamaredon, a Russian APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) group operated by the FSB, continues to conduct long-term cyberespionage campaigns targeting Ukrainian government, military, and critical infrastructure organizations. The group employs a stealthy, multi-stage infection chain that abuses legitimate Windows features and trusted services such as Telegram, Cloudflare, and cloud storage to maintain persistent access while minimizing detection. Its malware ecosystem, including GammaPhish and GammaWorm, enables USB-based propagation across air-gapped systems, document theft, and continuous deployment of additional payloads, supporting sustained espionage operations against Ukrainian targets.
