The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) reported thwarting a cyber attack by Russian hackers APT TURLA targeting a government institution. The attack, identified in December 2025, exploited vulnerabilities in Microsoft operating systems. SRI implemented countermeasures and found no sensitive data breaches. The attack involved a sophisticated virus designed to monitor email communications discreetly. Researchers noted that the malware operated on Microsoft Exchange servers, remaining undetected for extended periods. The operation lacked traditional command and control infrastructure, making it particularly stealthy.
