Microsoft: Russians Hacking Again Ahead of Euro Elections

Russian state hackers are targeting NGOs, think tanks and other government-linked organizations ahead of the European Parliament elections in spring, according to Microsoft.

The tech giant said it had observed 104 accounts in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Romania and Serbia come under fire from Fancy Bear (APT28, Strontium). This is the group blamed for the 2016 attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) which many believe helped Donald Trump to power.
