A recent investigation highlights a cyber-espionage campaign by Russia's military intelligence, the GRU, that targets surveillance cameras in Romania and other NATO countries. After the invasion of Ukraine began, GRU unit 26165 has utilized sophisticated tactics to compromise nearly 10,000 IP addresses, including 1,000 in Romania. Their intent is to gather real-time intelligence on military and humanitarian support routes into Ukraine by monitoring key geographic locations such as border crossings and transportation hubs. This campaign showcases the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the lengths to which Russia will go to gain strategic insights.
The investigation revealed that Russian military intelligence has targeted thousands of surveillance cameras in NATO countries to monitor military and humanitarian aid flows to Ukraine.
The cyber-espionage campaign began post-Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, attributed to GRU unit 26165, known for past espionage against Western sectors.
