SBU and FBI Expose Russian Cyber Campaign Targeting Messaging Accounts

On June 25, 2026, Ukraine's SBU and the FBI announced a coordinated Russian intelligence cyber-espionage campaign targeting messaging accounts of officials, military personnel, politicians, and activists across Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S.; attackers use SMS-based phishing messages disguised as official support communications—often sent in early morning hours—to steal sensitive military, political, economic and personal data, and authorities advise implementing two-factor authentication and exercising caution with links and QR codes.
