By Kevin Townsend on April 27, 2021 The FBI and DHS have issued a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory on the threat posed by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) via the cyber actor known as APT 29 (aka the Dukes, Cozy Bear, Yttrium and CozyDuke). This advisory primarily looks at the threats posed by APT 29, the evolution of its methods, and best practices to defend against the actor. It should be read in conjunction with, and as a supplement to, a separate advisory published earlier this month by the NSA, CISA and the FBI. The earlier advisory examined current vulnerabilities used by APT 29, and mitigations that can be employed against that use.
