French report on cyberattacks stresses Russia's 'ongoing threat' to Europe's security, says Government
The report said recent espionage campaigns associated with APT28 have targeted governmental entities in European countries, including 'foreign affairs departments, political parties, foundations and associations, and entities from the sectors of defence, logistics, arms industry, aerospace and IT'.
Recent cyberattacks by Russian intelligence on French public and private services highlights the “ongoing threat posed by Russia” not only to Ukraine but to the security of Europe, the Irish government has said.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said that France has condemned “in the strongest terms” the cyberattacks. A communique issued by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs attributed the attacks to a cyber gang known as APT28 on the direction of Russian military intelligence service (GRU).
