On January 27, the European Union sanctioned three members of Russia's GRU for their involvement in a cyberattack on Estonia in May 2020. Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed the findings of an investigation that identified the attackers as Yuri Denisov, Nikolay Korchagin, and Vitali Shevchenko, who are part of GRU's Unit 29155, known for targeting government entities and critical infrastructures. This is significant as it represents the first instance where Estonia directly linked cyberattacks to specific individuals, invoking EU-wide restrictions under its cyber sanctions regime.
The European Union imposed sanctions on three members of Russia's military intelligence (GRU) who conducted a cyberattack against Estonia in May 2020.
Estonia first attributed cyberattacks against it to specific GRU members last autumn, labeling them international fugitives following an investigation.
