Turla, a sophisticated hacking group with suspected ties to the Russian government, recently used a revamped version of its malware to target government entities in Eastern Europe, according to new research from the security firm ESET. Recent attacks using the revised malware have targeted two ministries of foreign affairs in Eastern Europe as well as a national parliament based in the Caucasus region, according to ESET, which did not reveal the names of those targeted. The researchers note that the revamped malware used in these campaigns is designed to exfiltrate sensitive documents from targets, although they have not confirmed whether the campaigns proved successful in stealing information.
