Italy says it thwarted Russian cyberattacks targeting the Winter Olympics.
Italy said Wednesday it had thwarted a wave of Russian cyberattacks targeting websites linked to the upcoming Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, as security measures intensified just hours before the opening ceremony.
The Italian Foreign Ministry said about 120 sites were affected, but that the attacks were “effectively neutralised.”

Danger Bulletin: Cyberattacks Against Ukraine and EU Countries Using CVE-2026-21509 Exploit
UAC-0001 (APT28) has launched cyberattacks against Ukraine and EU countries exploiting the CVE-2026-21509 vulnerability in Microsoft Office products. The threat actor created malicious DOC files targeting government bodies and EU organizations. The attack chain involves WebDAV connections, COM hijacking, and the use of the COVENANT framework, which utilizes Filen cloud storage for command and control. The campaign began shortly after the vulnerability's disclosure, with multiple documents discovered containing similar exploits. The attackers employ sophisticated techniques to evade detection and maintain persistence, including disguising malicious files as legitimate Windows components and creating scheduled tasks.

DynoWiper update: Technical analysis
ESET researchers provide technical details on a recent data destruction incident affecting a Polish energy company. They identified new data-wiping malware named DynoWiper, attributed to the Russia-aligned threat group Sandworm with medium confidence. The tactics, techniques, and procedures observed during the DynoWiper incident resemble those seen earlier in an incident involving the ZOV wiper in Ukraine. Sandworm has a history of destructive cyberattacks, targeting various entities including energy providers. The DynoWiper samples focus on the IT environment, with no observed functionality targeting OT industrial components. The attackers deployed additional tools and attempted to use a SOCKS5 proxy. The incident represents a rare case of a Russia-aligned threat actor deploying destructive malware against an energy company in Poland.

Sandworm behind cyberattack on Poland's power grid in late 2025
In late 2025, Poland's energy system was targeted by a major cyberattack, now attributed to the Russia-aligned APT group Sandworm by ESET Research. The attack involved data-wiping malware named DynoWiper, detected as Win32/KillFiles.NMO. While the full impact is still under investigation, researchers noted the attack's timing coincided with the 10th anniversary of Sandworm's 2015 attack on Ukraine's power grid. Sandworm continues to target critical infrastructure, particularly in Ukraine, with regular wiper attacks. The group's history of disruptive cyberattacks and the similarities in tactics, techniques, and procedures led to a medium-confidence attribution of this latest incident to Sandworm.

Reflecting on AI in 2025: Faster Attacks, Same Old Tradecraft
In 2025, AI did not revolutionize cyber attacks as predicted. Instead, adversaries used AI to accelerate traditional tradecraft, focusing on speed and accessibility rather than new offensive capabilities. The article examines several case studies showcasing AI-generated scripts for credential theft and browser exploitation. These attacks, while faster and more accessible to less-skilled operators, still rely on familiar techniques detectable by basic security measures. The outlook for 2026 suggests continued AI-driven commoditization of tradecraft, with more templated attacks and improved phishing attempts. However, fundamental security practices remain effective against these evolving threats.
