- The hackers employed spear-phishing, credential guessing, software exploits, and compromised thousands of internet-connected cameras monitoring aid shipments, primarily at Ukrainian borders and transport hubs.
- Paul Chichester of the UK's NCSC described the campaign as a "serious risk" with about 10,000 cameras accessed, enabling tracking of material flows and possibly aiding weapon targeting.
