There are also reports about china and Iran‘s attempts. But this post is to all the naysayers that just loooooove Russia.Strontium, operating from Russia, has attacked more than 200 organizations including political campaigns, advocacy groups, parties and political consultants
Strontium
Strontium is an activity group operating from Russia whose activities Microsoft has tracked and taken action to disrupt on several previous occasions. It was also identified in the Mueller report as the organization primary responsible for the attacks on the Democratic presidential campaign in 2016. Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has observed a series of attacks conducted by Strontium between September 2019 and today. Similar to what we observed in 2016, Strontium is launching campaigns to harvest people’s log-in credentials or compromise their accounts, presumably to aid in intelligence gathering or disruption operations. Many of Strontium’s targets in this campaign, which has affected more than 200 organizations in total, are directly or indirectly affiliated with the upcoming U.S. election as well as political and policy-related organizations in Europe. These targets include:
U.S.-based consultants serving Republicans and Democrats;
Think tanks such as The German Marshall Fund of the United States and advocacy organizations;
National and state party organizations in the U.S.; and
The European People’s Party and political parties in the UK.
Others that Strontium targeted recently include businesses in the entertainment, hospitality, manufacturing, financial services and physical security industries.
Microsoft has been monitoring these attacks and notifying targeted customers for several months, but only recently reached a point in our investigation where we can attribute the activity to Strontium with high confidence. MSTIC’s investigation revealed that Strontium has evolved its tactics since the 2016 election to include new reconnaissance tools and new techniques to obfuscate their operations. In 2016, the group primarily relied on spear phishing to capture people’s credentials. In recent months, it has engaged in brute force attacks and password spray, two tactics that have likely allowed them to automate aspects of their operations. Strontium also disguised these credential harvesting attacks in new ways, running them through more than 1,000 constantly rotating IP addresses, many associated with the Tor anonymizing service. Strontium even evolved its infrastructure over time, adding and removing about 20 IPs per day to further mask its activity.
We are also working with our customers to assist them in proactively hunting for these types of threats in their environments and have published additional detail and guidance on Strontium activity.
Noooo, don’t believe anything you read, hear, or see, just believe a known liar -

2020-09-12 at 1:20 PM UTC in Trump admits he knew coronavirus was ‘deadly’ and worse than the flu while intentionally misleading AmericansThe only problem with him saying that he doesn’t want to “induce panic”, is that his campaign tactics are nothing BUT scare tactics. “They’re gonna invade your suburbs.” “They’re gonna take your guns.” “There will be violence in your streets.” Hurr durr, I don’t wanna scare anyone🙄
