Cybersecurity authorities have issued an advisory warning of a global operation employing brute force techniques. The NSA, CISA, FBI, and NCSC have issued an advisory linking the campaign to the Russian government, specifically Russia’s General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).
The GRU 85th Main Special Service Center (GTsSS) employed a Kubernetes cluster to undertake extensive, anonymous, and distributed brute force attacks.
