The United States has recorded an attempt by Russia to gain covert access to urban infrastructure. This is evidenced by a cyberattack on an American engineering company that Russian hackers carried out through the RomCom and SocGholish tools – channels commonly used by criminal groups.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was reported by<\/a> the Center for Countering Disinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hackers were able to penetrate the company’s systems and obtain data on access and internal processes of contractors working with water supply, transportation, and emergency response networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The use of interconnected SocGholish-RomCom channels shows that Russia is deliberately masquerading as cybercriminals. This makes it difficult to determine the origin of the attack and delays the response of US intelligence agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The choice of an engineering company as a target suggests that Moscow is looking for opportunities for future acts of sabotage in the United States. Even a failed hack gives Russia information about how American cyber teams are responding, making U.S. cyberspace a training ground for practicing new attack scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was previously reported that four people suspected of spying for Russia were detained in France.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

As a reminder, in Kyiv, the Security Service of Ukraine detained Chinese spies who were collecting secret documents about the Ukrainian Neptune missile<\/a> .<\/p>\n
