BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESET Research has released a white paper about Gamaredon’s updated cyberespionage toolset, new stealth-focused techniques, and aggressive spearphishing operations observed across the previous year. Gamaredon, attributed by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) to the 18th Center of Information Security of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), has targeted Ukrainian governmental institutions since at least 2013. In 2024, Gamaredon exclusively attacked Ukrainian institutions. ESET’s latest research shows that the group remains highly active, consistently targeting Ukraine, but has notably adapted its tactics and tools. The group’s objective is cyberespionage aligned with Russian geopolitical interests. Last year, the group significantly increased the scale and frequency of spearphishing campaigns, employing new delivery methods, and one attack payload was used solely to spread Russian propaganda.
