As North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members and partners gather for a historic summit, it is important to take stock of one of its most pressing challenges-the cyber threat. The Alliance faces a barrage of malicious cyber activity from all over the globe, carried out by emboldened state-sponsored actors, hacktivists, and criminals who are willing to cross lines and carry out activity that was previously considered unlikely or inconceivable. In addition to military targets, NATO must consider the risks that hybrid threats like malicious cyber activity pose to hospitals, civil society, and other targets, which could impact resilience in a contingency. The war in Ukraine is undoubtedly linked to escalating cyber threat activity, but many of these threats will continue to grow separately and in parallel. NATO must contend with covert, aggressive malicious cyber actors that are seeking to gather intelligence, preparing to or currently attacking critical infrastructure, and working to undermine the Alliance with elaborate disinformation schemes. In order to protect its customers and clients, Google is closely tracking cyber threats, including those highlighted in this report; however, this is just a glimpse at a much larger and evolving landscape. Cyber Espionage NATO\'s adversaries have long sought to leverage cyber espionage to develop insight into the political, diplomatic, and military disposition of the Alliance and to steal its defense technologies and economic secrets. However, intelligence on the Alliance in the coming months will be of heightened importance. This year\'s summit is a transition period, with the appointment of Mark Rutte as the new Secretary General and a number of adaptations expected to be rolled out to shore up the Alliance\'s defense posture and its long-term support for Ukraine. Successful cyber espionage from threat actors could potentially undermine the Alliance\'s strategic advantage and inform adversary leadership on how to anticipate and counteract NATO\'s initiatives and investments. NATO is targeted by cyber espionage activity from actors around the world with varying capabilities. Many still rely on technically simple but operationally effective methods, like social engineering. Others have evolved and elevated their tradecraft to levels that distinguish themselves as formidable adversaries for even the most experienced defenders. APT29 (ICECAP) Publicly attributed to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Services (SVR) by several governments, APT29 is heavily focused on diplomatic and political intelligence collection, principally targeting Europe and NATO member states. APT29 has been involved in multiple high-profile breaches of technology firms that were designed to provide access to the public sector. In the past year, Mandiant has observed APT29 targeting technology companies and IT service providers in NATO member countries to facilitate third-party and software supply chain compromises of government and poli |

Individuals and organizations in Brazil face a unique cyber threat landscape because it is a complex interplay of global and local threats, posing significant risks to individuals, organizations, and critical sectors of Brazilian society. Many of the cyber espionage threat actors that are prolific in campaigns across the globe are also active in carrying out attempted intrusions into critical sectors of Brazilian society. Brazil also faces threats posed by the worldwide increase in multifaceted extortion, as ransomware and data theft continue to rise. At the same time, the threat landscape in Brazil is shaped by a domestic cybercriminal market, where threat actors coordinate to carry out account takeovers, conduct carding and fraud, deploy banking malware and facilitate other cyber threats targeting Brazilians. The rise of the Global South, with Brazil at the forefront, marks a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape; one that extends into the cyber realm. As Brazil\'s influence grows, so does its digital footprint, making it an increasingly attractive target for cyber threats originating from both global and domestic actors. This blog post brings together Google\'s collective understanding of the Brazilian threat landscape, combining insights from Google\'s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) and Mandiant\'s frontline intelligence. As Brazil\'s economic and geopolitical role in global affairs continues to rise, threat actors from an array of motivations will further seek opportunities to exploit the digital infrastructure that Brazilians rely upon across all aspects of society. By sharing our global perspective, we hope to enable greater resiliency in mitigating these threats. Google uses the results of our research to improve the safety and security of our products, making them secure by default. Chrome OS has built-in and proactive security to protect from ransomware, and there have been no reported ransomware attacks ever on any business, education, or consumer Chrome OS device. Google security teams continuously monitor for new threat activity, and all identified websites and domains are added to Safe Browsing to protect users from further exploitation. We deploy and constantly update Android detections to protect users\' devices and prevent malicious actors from publishing malware to the Google Play Store. We send targeted Gmail and Workspace users government-backed attacker alerts, notifying them of the activity and encouraging potential targets to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing for Chrome and ensure that all devices are updated.
