FBI Disrupts Russian DNS Hijacking Network

The FBI disrupted a DNS hijacking network controlled by the Russian state-sponsored threat group APT28 by neutralizing US-based routers compromised in the campaign. The operation targeted infrastructure used by the hackers to maintain persistence and conduct malicious activities. No specific technical details, dates, or impacted organizations were disclosed in the report. The action focused on severing the connection between the compromised devices and APT28’s command-and-control network. The effort was part of a broader US government response to counter cyber threats linked to Russian intelligence operations.
