Russian Phishing Uses Fake CIA Sites to Target Anti-war, Ukraine Supporters [View all]

Silent Push uncovers an alleged Russian intelligence phishing campaign impersonating the CIA, targeting Ukraine supporters, anti-war activists and informants.

Cybersecurity researchers at Silent Push have discovered a complex and extensive phishing operation, allegedly launched by Russian Intelligence Services or a similarly motivated entity, targeting individuals who support Ukraine and oppose the Russian government.

The campaign, which surfaced in early 2025, employed fake website lures to gather personal information from Russian citizens and informants. This was a particularly sensitive endeavour given the illegality of anti-war activities within the Russian Federation.

The phishing sites collected user input using a combination of static HTML and JavaScript. Data exfiltration was often facilitated through simple POST requests to threat-actor-controlled servers or through the abuse of Google Forms.
