Lithuanian police have launched an investigation into the leak of secret data of NATO members.
The police launched a pre-trial investigation into a possible data leak when hackers began posting information on social networks related to the organization of the NATO summit in Vilnius.
The Police Department confirmed that the Lithuanian Criminal Police Department has launched a pre-trial investigation, cooperating with all institutions responsible for cybersecurity. No further details have been released at this stage of the investigation.
Hackers from the group "From Russia with Love" (FRwL) are suspected of hacking. According to the Lithuanian special services, hackers gained access to the secret information of the organizers of the NATO summit, among others:
The names of the snipers of the Separate Anti-terrorist Unit of the Lithuanian Police "Aras" were also made public, and the minutes of meetings of the security group in preparation for the summit were published. Cyber security specialist Lukas Apynis said that the stolen data is not relevant at the moment, as it was leaked after the NATO summit.
Earlier in November 2022, the FRwL group encrypted systems and caused disruptions in the work of several Ukrainian organizations using a new version of the Somnia cryptographer. Hacktivists reported on the creation of Somnia in their Telegram channel and even posted evidence of attacks on a Ukrainian organization engaged in the production of tanks.
In addition, a team of Blackberry security researchers previously discovered a hacker group that attacks supporters of Ukraine before the NATO summit in Vilnius . According to experts, the RomCom hacker group used forged documents that imitated a call for Ukraine to join NATO - one of the key topics of discussion at the summit.
