In late 2025, Romania experienced a cyberattack attributed to a Moscow-aligned group, identified by ESET as "Cereal." This sophisticated tool targets Microsoft Exchange servers to collect emails related to NATO and the EU. ESET linked "Cereal" to the APT Turla group, known for its long-standing ties to Russian intelligence. The attack highlights ongoing regional tensions, particularly with Russia's drone incursions into Romania. ESET's research reveals that the tool operates stealthily, using the compromised server for command and control without external infrastructure. This incident underscores the evolving nature of cyber threats and the importance of digital resilience.
