Russian state hackers APT28 utilized a novel 'nearest neighbor attack' to breach a U.S. company's WiFi network from miles away, highlighting vulnerabilities in enterprise security protocols.
The attackers initially compromised a nearby organization, showcasing an innovative approach in cyber warfare that allows perpetrators to extend their reach without physical proximity.
Discovered on February 4, 2022, by Volexity, the breach underscored the evolving tactics of threat actors, particularly those connected to geopolitical issues like the situation in Ukraine.
APT28's methods illustrate a significant security challenge for organizations, particularly those engaged in sensitive work, making them attractive targets for advanced persistent threats.
