Joint Cybersecurity Advisory – Hunting Russian Intelligence “Snake” Malware

Today, CISA the FBI, the NSA, the U.S. Cyber Command Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), and other international partners published a joint cybersecurity advisory (CSA) on Snake malware, the most sophisticated cyber espionage tool designed and employed by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB). The nearly 50-page cyber advisory comprehensively details how Russia’s FSB has been observed using this malware to exploit a range of businesses and governments in 50 countries across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, including in the U.S. and Russia itself. 

WaterISAC regularly provides awareness of recent CISA reporting. While direct relevance to your utility/organization on the details of each report may vary, activity alerts like this are practical for general awareness of active threats and adversary capabilities.
