Russia-Linked Brute-Force Campaign Targets EU via Microsoft Infrastructure
A Heimdal investigation shows the EU is experiencing a surge of brute force cyber attacks on corporate and institutional networks, mostly originating from Russia.
These attackers exploit Microsoft infrastructure, particularly in Belgium and the Netherlands, to avoid detection.
Heimdal’s data reveals that the attacks date back to May 2024, but evidence suggests they may have been occurring for an even longer period.This aligns with European leaders’ belief that Russia is waging a ‘shadow war’ to unsettle Europe.
