Russia's Hybrid Cyber-Physical War in Europe Heats Up

Recorded Future's Insikt Group describes an ongoing and escalating Russian hybrid warfare campaign across Europe that blends cyber operations (targeting internet-facing services and public infrastructure), physical sabotage (attacks on water, energy, cargo infrastructure and drone incursions), and influence operations (impersonation and AI-driven disinformation). The report catalogs recent incidents and warns these disruptive, non-kinetic tactics could become more frequent and coordinated, stressing heightened risk for logistics, dual-use firms, and entities supporting Ukraine and recommending defensive measures such as phishing-resistant multifactor authentication.
