Russia's Shuckworm cyber group launching ongoing attacks on Ukraine.
The Russia-linked cyber group Shuckworm is continuing to target Ukrainian organizations with infostealing malware.
According to Symantec's Threat Hunter Team, part of Broadcom Software, much of the current activity is an extension of attacks that were reported by the Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine in July.
Shuckworm is a eight-year-old cyber crime group that focuses almost exclusively on Ukraine, Symantec said.
Symantec said Shuckworm used self-extracting 7-Zip files, which were downloaded via email.
