Microsoft identifies Russia's BadPilot hackers targeting U.S. and allied networks since 2021.

Microsoft has identified a subgroup within Russia's Sandworm hacking team, named BadPilot, which has been targeting networks in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. This group exploits known software vulnerabilities to gain access to high-value organizations, including telecommunications, oil and gas, and shipping companies. BadPilot has been active since 2021, using remote monitoring tools to maintain persistence in networks without detection. Microsoft warns that this group's operations support larger attacks by Sandworm and advises critical sectors to enhance security measures and patch vulnerabilities.
