NATO Is Actively Addressing An Apparent Cyberattack

A politically motivated hacking group claimed to have stolen numerous strategic planning and research documents from the alliance.

NATO announced it is addressing an apparent cyberattack after strategy documents were posted online.

A politically motivated hacking group claimed to have stolen numerous strategic planning and research documents from the alliance. The group then shared the documents on the social media platform, ‘Telegram’, and claimed it was the second time in three months they successfully hacked unclassified NATO websites.

The documents include information regarding hypersonic weapons, threats from drones, and testing procedures for radioactive waste. It is unclear why the hackers targeted NATO, but such groups tend to do so just because they can.
