US and Allies Disable Russian Hacking and Malware Operations.
TL;DR Summary
The FBI has disrupted a network of hacked computers used by Russian spies to steal sensitive information from at least 50 countries, including NATO governments. The hacking tool, allegedly used by Russia's domestic intelligence service, the FSB, for nearly two decades, has been associated with a big breach of US military networks in the mid-to-late 1990s and a hack of US Central Command in 2008. The Russian Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
