A new cyber espionage operation linked to the Russian group Turla targeted government institutions in Romania and Kazakhstan. The hackers employed a sophisticated tool named Cereal, designed to compromise Microsoft Exchange servers and discreetly collect emails. ESET researchers discovered this digital espionage infrastructure, which is believed to be connected to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). The malware was specifically configured to monitor correspondence related to NATO and EU institutions in Romania. The operation highlights a trend in contemporary cyber espionage where attackers aim for persistent access to gather strategic information without detection, using compromised servers as surveillance tools.
