Russian Cyber Units [Updated February 2, 2022] [open pdf - 501KB]
From the Document: "Russia has deployed sophisticated cyber capabilities to conduct disinformation, propaganda, espionage, and destructive cyberattacks globally. To conduct these operations, Russia maintains numerous units that are overseen by various security and intelligence agencies. Russia's security agencies compete with each other and often conduct similar operations on the same targets, making specific attribution and motivation assessments difficult. The U.S. government has indicted and imposed sanctions on Russian security personnel and agents for various cyberattacks. Congress may be interested in Russian agencies, units, and their attributes to better understand why and how Russia conducts cyber operations."
