Russian cyber espionage

Russian cyber espionage involves covert digital operations where Russia's government-linked entities, often through hacking groups, target foreign governments, institutions, and private organizations to gather sensitive information. These activities include hacking into computer networks, stealing classified data, and monitoring communications to gain strategic advantages or political insights. Such operations are typically sophisticated, employing advanced malware and social engineering techniques. The goal is often to influence geopolitical stability, enhance Russia’s intelligence capabilities, or undermine adversaries' security and decision-making. These clandestine activities pose significant challenges to international security and cybersecurity efforts.
