Cyber attackers linked to Russia’s intelligence agency have been targeting the phones of Ukrainian soldiers with a “malware campaign”, according to British intelligence.
A group known as Sandstorm has been deploying a virus named “Infamous Chisel” to steal sensitive military information, the UK Ministry of Defence said.
It enables persistent access to Android devices and the extraction of data from them, said the MoD, citing a report by the National Cyber Security Centre.
“This activity demonstrates Russia’s continued use of cyber capabilities to support the invasion of Ukraine,” it said.
