In January 2022, Kaspersky ICS CERT experts detected a wave of targeted attacks on military industrial complex enterprises and public institutions in several Eastern European countries and Afghanistan. In the course of our research, we were able to identify over a dozen of attacked organizations.
The attackers were able to penetrate dozens of enterprises and even hijack the IT infrastructure of some, taking control of systems used to manage security solutions.
An analysis of information obtained during our investigation indicates that cyberespionage was the goal of this series of attacks.
