Inside Russia's Cyber Warfare Tactics: Leaked Documents Reveal Surprising Insights.

Leaked documents reveal that a Moscow-based defense contractor, NTC Vulkan, aided Russian intelligence agencies with social media disinformation and training to remotely disrupt real-world targets, such as sea, air, and rail control systems. The documents contain internal company emails, financial records, and contracts that show the ambition of Russia's cyber operations and the breadth of the work Moscow has been outsourcing. Western intelligence officials and independent cybersecurity experts who reviewed the documents believe them to be authentic. Despite the Russian government's attempts to launch destructive cyberattacks against Ukraine, many of them failed to be as damaging or were thwarted by the Ukrainians who have had significant assistance from the U.S. and the EU in shoring up their cyber defenses.
