GRU-Linked BlueDelta Evolves Credential Harvesting

    Date: 01/23/2026

    Severity: High

    Summary: Between February and September 2025, multiple credential-harvesting campaigns were attributed to BlueDelta, a Russian state-sponsored threat group linked to the GRU. These operations expand on BlueDelta’s ongoing credential-theft activity previously documented in Insikt Group’s December 2025 report. During 2025, BlueDelta targeted a limited but distinct set of victims. Targets included individuals associated with a Turkish energy and nuclear research agency, a European think tank, and organizations in North Macedonia and Uzbekistan. The use of Turkish-language and region-specific lure materials indicates deliberate tailoring to enhance credibility. Overall targeting reflects sustained interest in energy research, defense collaboration, and government communication networks aligned with Russian intelligence priorities.
