Publishing right before a major election is apparently just a coincidence
A fresh report into the Nobelium offensive cyber crew published by France's computer emergency response team highlights the group's latest tricks as the country prepares for a major election and to host this year's Olympic and Paralympic Games.
For example,"a variety of entities, including the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs" were targeted in the months of February-May 2021, which led to the attempted deployment of Cobalt Strike presumably to allow remote access. It was unsuccessful, but was just one of many serious attempts to breach and gather intelligence from the French government.
"ANSSI and members consider that the imputation of these activities against French diplomatic entities to Nobelium is consistent," the CERT-FR concludes that Nobelium presents a genuine threat to both national security and the diplomatic interests of France and wider Europe. Barrot said the government believed Russian social media bots deliberately amplified the negative messaging around the incident and tried to pin the whole thing on the arrival of Ukrainian refugees to the French capital.
