Pro-Ukraine Hacker Group Bearlyfy Targets Russian Companies with Custom Ransomware
Bearlyfy, a pro-Ukraine hacking collective, has struck over 70 Russian firms in the past year and is now deploying its own ransomware in an escalated campaign.
A pro-Ukrainian hacker group known as Bearlyfy has carried out more than 70 cyberattacks against Russian companies over the past year and is now escalating its campaign with newly developed ransomware tools, researchers have found. The group’s activities form part of the ongoing cyber dimension of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, directly hitting commercial targets inside Russia. Full details are available in the report from The Record (https://therecord.media/ransomware-ukraine-russia-bearlyfy).
[SENTINEL]: Ordinary Russians working at these companies could wake up to locked systems and lost data because of the war's digital front, driving up costs that eventually hit consumers everywhere. It points to a future where small hacker teams routinely act as frontline forces in conflicts, making cyber attacks an everyday part of how nations push back on each other.
