Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), the company’s cybersecurity arm that focuses mostly on state-sponsored, espionage-oriented threat actors, has elevated Sandworm, an infamous Russian group, to Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) level, assigning it a new codename - APT44.
In a recent analysis of the group, TAG said APT44 has been a “flexible instrument of power capable of servicing Russia's wide ranging national interests”, and said it was pivotal in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
