A threat actor with connections to the hacking group YoroTrooper has been observed launching attacks against the Russian public sector using malware families including FoalShell and StallionRAT. BI.ZONE, a cybersecurity vendor, has named this malicious activity Cavalry Werewolf and tracks its developments actively. This actor shows technical and behavioral similarities to other identified clusters such as SturgeonPhisher, Silent Lynx, and Comrade Saiga, indicating possible shared tactics or affiliations.
The campaigns by Cavalry Werewolf represent a continued cyber threat targeting governmental organizations, with potential implications for national security and data integrity. The use of sophisticated malware families underscores the increasing capabilities of state-affiliated or politically motivated attackers. The overlapping traits with multiple threat clusters complicate attribution and defense efforts, creating challenges for cybersecurity teams tasked with protecting public sector infrastructures.
Organizations should be aware of the evolving threat landscape and consider enhancing defensive measures against similar malware attacks. Ongoing monitoring and intelligence sharing remain critical to mitigating risks posed by groups like Cavalry Werewolf and their associated networks.
