Reuters: Russian hackers accessed over 170 emails of officials in Ukraine and

A group linked to Russia hacked more than 170 email accounts belonging to prosecutors and investigators across Ukraine over the past few months, Reuters reported.

The news agency cited data provided by Ctrl-Alt-Intel, a group of British and American cyber threat researchers.

The hackers compromised at least 284 mailboxes between September 2024 and March 2026, Ctrl-Alt-Intel said. Most of the victims were in Ukraine, but the hackers also targeted neighboring NATO countries and the Balkans.

The operation was launched by "Fancy Bear", a Russian military hacking team.

The hackers most likely targeted Ukrainian law enforcement either to obtain information on Russian spies under investigation or to compromise material on senior Ukrainian officials.

Specifically, the hackers accessed accounts managed by the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in the Field of Defense, a body created to fight corruption and find spies in the Ukrainian military, according to the data.

They also targeted the Asset Recovery and Management Agency of Ukraine, which manages assets confiscated from criminals, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, and the Prosecutors' Training Center based in Kiev.
