Imagine a group of burglars who want to sneak into a lot of houses. They are super smart and use fancy tools that make it tough for people to catch them. That’s kind of what a Russian attack group is currently doing on the internet. They have set up over 200 fake “houses” (these are like pretend websites) and 34 secret backdoor entrances (systems or servers that let them get in and control things from afar) to help them sneak around undetected.
These attackers are using tools that are normally used by good guys — people who test systems to make sure they’re secure. Imagine if the police practiced picking locks to make sure your home is safe. Well, the attackers are using those same lock-picking tools, but for not-so-nice reasons. They’re breaking into places they shouldn’t, which makes it a lot tougher for digital security teams to figure out if they’re bad or just someone doing their job.
One of the sneaky ways they’re doing this is by phishing emails. This means they send emails that look real but are actually traps. If someone clicks on a link or downloads an attachment from these emails, the attackers can get a hold of their computer.
