Hackers with ties to the Russian government have been targeting Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma with a series of phishing attacks designed to steal employee credentials, according to researchers at Area 1 Security.
Russian hackers' attacks on Burisma appear to have started around November, according to the Times.
"The Burisma hack is a cookie-cutter GRU campaign," Oren Falkowitz, a co-founder of Area 1 Security, told the Times.
The Area 1 Security report also notes that the campaign against Burisma used an HTTP redirect that has previously been tied to GRU and Fancy Bear.
While the campaign against Burisma appears to have started in November, Area 1 Security researchers first discovered the attack around Jan. 1.
