Russian GRU Targeting Western Logistics Entities and Technology Companies

    Date: 08/20/2025

    Severity: High

    Summary

    A Russian state-sponsored cyber campaign has been targeting Western logistics and technology companies, particularly those supporting the coordination, transportation, and delivery of foreign aid to Ukraine. Since 2022, these sectors have faced heightened threats from the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) 85th Main Special Service Center (85th GTsSS), also known as military unit 26165—identified in the cybersecurity community under various aliases. This cyber espionage campaign leverages a combination of previously known tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The involved agencies anticipate continued targeting of similar entities using the same methods.
