Aleksandar Djokic (Александар Джокич)(@polidemitolog):Microsoft has identified a global cyber campaign by the Russian hacking group Storm-2945, a subgroup of Midnight Blizzard, targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks. The attackers used adversary-in-the-middle techniques to redirect users to phishing infrastructure and distribute malware disguised as browser or operating system updates. The malware can steal credentials, collect files, log keystrokes, and provide remote access to infected systems. US and UK authorities have linked Midnight Blizzard to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).
