The Russia-linked cyberspy group known as Zebrocy has adopted COVID-19 vaccine-related lures in a recently observed phishing campaign, threat detection and response company Intezer reported on Wednesday.
Initially detailed in 2018, Zebrocy is believed to be associated with the infamous Russian state-sponsored hacking group Sofacy (also tracked as APT28, Fancy Bear, Pawn Storm, Sednit, and Strontium).
In September 2020, QuoINT security researchers revealed that Zebrocy attacks on countries associated with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) had continued. One month later, the United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) shared new malware samples associated with the group.
In November, Intezer’s security researchers observed Zebrocy phishing emails carrying lure documents about Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinopharm International Corporation, which has reached phase three clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine.
