Notorious Russian military intelligence unit carrying out cyber attacks on Western countries, agencies warn

A notorious unit of Russia's military intelligence agency (GRU) is carrying out #CyberAttacks against #CriticalInfrastructure in NATO and EU countries, as well as Ukraine, Western intelligence agencies warned on Sept. 5.

#GRU Unit 29155 is believed to be responsible for a number of physical attacks in Western countries, including the poisoning of former double agent Sergei #Skripal in the U.K. in 2018 and the ammunition warehouse explosions in #Czechia in 2014.

The unit is also responsible for an attempted #coup in #Montenegro and a political #destabilization campaign in #Moldova.

Western intelligence agencies have now uncovered that this unit has a powerful cyber arm and that it has been carrying out attacks since 2020.

Moldova's Foreign Minister: Russia attempting to overthrow democratic government in Chișinău

"The Russians are learning and adapting, and they’re trying to use the democratic process against us … to topple the democratic government in Moldova," noted Popșoi.

He said that Chișinău knows that the Kremlin plans to invest "a lot of energy and financial resources" into their efforts to achieve their goals, including through the bribery of Moldovan citizens, via their proxies.

Russia would continue its hybrid warfare in 2024 on the eve of the presidential elections and the referendum on the country's accession to the European Union.

Don't think that Russian hybrid ops in Estonia end with the suspects currently detained

The Internal Security Service (ISS), known in #Estonian as the #Kapo, announced Tuesday that, based on information amassed in the course of criminal proceedings, Russia's security services have been coordinating a hybrid operation against Estonia's security.

This operation includes the activities carried out by those suspects currently detained.

While smashing the windows of a family car is hardly a sophisticated action, recruiting willing volunteers inside Estonia has not proven difficult for the #FSB and/or other Russian security organs.

Speaking to ETV current affairs show "Ringvaade," Läänemets said that the intention on the part of Russia's security services is to sow fear and discord, both in Estonia and elsewhere.

"This is the goal of the #Russian secret services and also that of Russia as a whole: To destabilize Estonian society and sow fear.

"Russia has dedicated units to carry out such operations. Estonia is not the only place where this has happened. It happens in the other Baltic states, and elsewhere ", the minister went on.
