The intelligence services of the UK, US, and the Netherlands have stated that they have uncovered a cyber-espionage campaign attributed to the Iranian authorities, which was directed against opposition members, activists, and journalists in various countries.

According to the report, the attackers used spyware that allowed them to track the location of victims, take screenshots of devices, access messages, and even turn on the microphone.

The US Department of Justice has charged five alleged members of a network linked to Russian intelligence services, which is said to have recruited people in the US to carry out surveillance and commit murders.

According to the indictment, this network recruited a Venezuelan citizen living in the US last summer to surveil a well-known Russian dissident in the Washington area. He was offered $1,000 to $1,500 for surveillance and $40,000 for murder. When the recruit refused to carry out the murder himself, the alleged recruiters asked whether he knew anyone who could do it.

The indictment also alleges that the network had earlier offered a US citizen $25,000 to murder another Russian dissident in Lithuania, and that plans were discussed for attacks on power substations, warehouses, fuel storage facilities, and other infrastructure sites in NATO countries supporting Ukraine.

The five defendants include a former colonel of Russian intelligence, an alleged FSB officer, and individuals residing in Russia. All of them remain at large.

The charges are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

⚡🇷🇺🇺🇦 According to OSINT data, production of Gerans 4 and 5s have accelerated and are now entering service in large quantities (at least 2,000 drones a month are produced according to Ukrainian intelligence.)

Gerans 4s and 5s are much better improved models than the previous generations, they fly higher, faster, and carry more explosive loads.

They're equipped with jet engines and fly higher than the range of most engagement attitudes of MANPAD crews, Iranian technology transfers between Iran and Russia continues unimpeded.
