The hybrid war against the West continues: pro‑Russian hackers are attacking water supplies, factories, and even crematoria in NATO countries, causing real accidents, - Bloomberg
Since the end of 2024, similar attacks have been recorded in about 20 countries. In Spain, hackers put cremation ovens out of service, caused a fire at a factory, and disrupted the operations of wineries.
In Denmark, about 450 homes were left without water after a pump station was hacked. In the U.S., hackers interfered with wastewater treatment plants and refrigeration equipment. At one meatpacking plant more than 900 kg of meat was spoiled, and an ammonia leak forced an evacuation.
The attacks are carried out by the groups CARR and Z‑Pentest. U.S. prosecutors claim that the Russian GRU was involved in funding and directing CARR.
The most dangerous thing is that the hackers often do not understand what they are doing. They hack everything they can reach and try to inflict maximum damage.
One of CARR’s leaders, Yuliia Pankratova, told Bloomberg plainly that the group will continue to attack hospitals and water supply facilities, and that it has no “red lines.”
