What's worrying about this report is that it's coming from Google itself.

With Russia's full-scale invasion in its third year, Sandworm (aka FROZENBARENTS) remains a formidable threat to Ukraine. The group’s operations in support of Moscow’s war aims have proven tactically and operationally adaptable...

...Mandiant continues to see operations from the group that are global in scope in key political, military, and economic hotspots for Russia. Additionally, with a record number of people participating in national elections in 2024, Sandworm’s history of attempting to interfere in democratic processes further elevates the severity of the threat the group may pose in the near-term.

What’s worrying about this report is that it’s coming from Google itself.

Google just bought Mandiant, one of the leading cybersecurity and threat intelligence firms. Therefore, Google is one of the leading cybersecurity and threat intelligence firms.

It’s now expected that Google would release this kind of report, seeing as they sell this as an enterprise service.

Mandiant has previously released this type of report regularly; for instance, they were the firm that disclosed the SolarWinds hack.
