•[ phishing, credential harvesting, state-sponsored attack ]
The article reports researchers observed a months-long phishing/credential-harvesting operation targeting users of UKR.NET, a popular Ukrainian webmail and news service. The campaign ran from June 2024 through April 2025 and was attributed to Russian state-backed BlueDelta (APT28/Fancy Bear/Forest Blizzard). Researchers said the actors created multiple fake UKR.NET login pages and sent phishing emails with PDF attachments containing embedded links to the fraudulent portals, with more than 20 linked PDF lure files identified. The purpose was assessed as harvesting credentials and gathering intelligence supporting broader Russian objectives; the reporting did not quantify how many users were successfully compromised.
