•[ phishing, vulnerability exploitation, XSS ]
BleepingComputer reported that Russia-linked APT28 (GRU) exploited a Zimbra Collaboration Suite vulnerability (CVE-2025-66376) in attacks targeting Ukrainian government entities. Researchers described a phishing operation (Operation GhostMail) where a single HTML email body triggered obfuscated JavaScript exploiting the Zimbra XSS flaw when opened in a vulnerable webmail session. The payload was described as harvesting credentials, session tokens, backup 2FA codes, browser-saved passwords, and mailbox contents going back 90 days, with exfiltration over DNS and HTTPS. One referenced target was the Ukrainian State Hydrology Agency.

Network devices in at least one Norwegian organization
February 5, 2026
•[ state-sponsored espionage, network device compromise, telecom ]
The Record reported that Norways Police Security Service (PST) disclosed that the Chinese state-sponsored espionage campaign tracked as Salt Typhoon compromised network devices in Norwegian organizations. PST made the disclosure in its 2026 annual threat assessment and said the actor exploited vulnerable network devices, consistent with a broader telecom/critical infrastructure espionage focus described by allied authorities. The article does not identify specific victim organizations or provide incident-level dates/effects for one named target, so it is best treated as campaign-level reporting rather than a single victim event record.
At least one organization in Southeast Asia
October 1, 2025
•[ espionage, APT activity, vulnerability exploitation ]
BleepingComputer summarized Check Point research on a newly tracked actor Amaranth Dragon, linked to China-aligned APT activity, which exploited WinRAR CVE-2025-8088 in espionage operations against government and law enforcement entities in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, and the Philippines. The actor used geofenced infrastructure and a custom loader to deliver encrypted payloads (including Havoc and a newer TGAmaranth RAT using Telegram for C2). Because the article is campaign/threat-research reporting without a discrete, named victim event record and bounded impacts, event_type and event_subtype are coded as NA for CED incident purposes.
An undisclosed critical infrastructure company in Zambia

•[ espionage, phishing, vulnerability exploitation ]
BleepingComputer summarized Unit 42 research on a state-aligned espionage group tracked as TGR-STA-1030/UNC6619 conducting global operations dubbed Shadow Campaigns. The report said the actor compromised at least 70 government and critical infrastructure organizations across 37 countries and conducted reconnaissance activity targeting government entities connected to 155 countries during NovDec 2025. The article describes initial access via tailored phishing (Mega-hosted archives) and exploitation of multiple known vulnerabilities, use of webshells and tunneling tools, and a custom Linux eBPF rootkit (ShadowGuard), but it does not provide a single discrete victim organization record with a specific primary effect suitable for one CED event entry.

•[ cyberattack, data leak, vulnerability exploitation ]
The European Commission disclosed it detected traces of a cyberattack on January 30, 2026 targeting its central infrastructure used to manage staff mobile devices. The Commission said the incident may have resulted in access to staff names and mobile phone numbers for some employees, but it had not found evidence that managed mobile devices themselves were compromised. The Commission stated its response contained and cleaned the system within nine hours. The article notes the Commission did not disclose the initial access method, but the incident appeared linked to attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM).
