State-sponsored actors with ties to Russia have been linked to targeted cyber attacks aimed at French diplomatic entities, the country’s information security agency ANSSI said in an advisory. The attacks have been attributed to a cluster tracked by Microsoft under the name Midnight Blizzard (formerly Nobelium), which overlaps with activity tracked as APT29, BlueBravo, Cloaked Ursa, Cozy Bear, and The Dukes.
