Russian Cyber Campaign Targets Ukraine with New Malware

Researchers identified a Russian cyber campaign targeting Ukrainian organizations using two newly discovered malware families, BadPaw and MeowMeow, delivered via phishing emails. The attack begins with a phishing email containing a link to a ZIP archive, though further technical details of the infection chain were not disclosed. The campaign is attributed to a Russian advanced persistent threat (APT) group, though no specific APT designation (e.g., APT28) was confirmed in the reported findings. No dates, CVE IDs, or quantified impacts (e.g., number of victims) were provided in the available content. The focus of the activity appears to be intelligence gathering or cyber warfare against Ukrainian entities.
