The threat actor behind the remote access Trojan called RomCom and other pro-Russian groups are targeting Ukrainian agencies and allies ahead of the NATO Summit this week in Vilnius, Lithuania, using weaponized Microsoft documents and typosquatting techniques to deliver the malware.
NATO countries are set to consider Ukraine’s possible future membership in the organization on Tuesday and Wednesday in Lithuania, which borders Russia and has been an outspoken ally of Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022. Threat actors have exploited the event by targeting supporters of Ukraine with fake websites and documents impersonating the Ukrainian World Congress, according to the Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine.
