This analysis examines infrastructure used by multiple Russian cyber espionage clusters targeting individuals in academia, think tanks, and organizations across Europe and the United States. The investigation expands on three threat clusters (UNC6293, UNC7005, and UNC5976) that employed OAuth phishing, Microsoft device code phishing, and WhatsApp targeting. UNC6293 utilized lure domains impersonating the Council on Foreign Relations and government portals, with possible Evilginx configurations. UNC7005 demonstrated lower sophistication with poor operational security, using domains like my-invite[.]org for phishing campaigns. UNC5976 employed Google Drive impersonation domains for OAuth phishing. The analysis leverages historical DNS data, CSS hash similarities, favicon analysis, registration patterns, and certificate information to identify additional infrastructure and tracking methods for discovering related malicious domains and IP addresses.

A misconfigured Python HTTP server on a Budapest VPS exposed the complete operational infrastructure of three distinct phishing operators. The investigation uncovered codemado, an Egyptian threat actor operating since 2018, running a full AiTM platform with custom tools including MaDoO Blaster; saroula01, deploying OAuth Device Code Flow attacks that accumulated 218 victims across 12 countries over a year; and mail-argenta, a Nigerian operator identified through infostealer logs containing his own credentials. All three actors leveraged customized Evilginx forks and AI-assisted development to build MFA-bypass infrastructure from public GitHub repositories. The campaigns targeted Microsoft 365 accounts primarily, with codemado maintaining ties to RockyBelling's "The Quarry" cybercrime ecosystem. The exposed server contained phishing configurations, credential logs, RMM installers, combolists, and Telegram session files, revealing sustained operations from at least January 2025 through May 2026.

The threat actor leveraged Evilginx (likely version 3.0), an open source, advanced phishing adversary-in-the-middle (AITM, aka MITM) framework designed to steal login credentials and session cookies. Evilginx is widely used by cybercriminals to undermine multi-factor authentication (MFA) security, and this actor has used it to target at least 18 universities and educational institutions across the United States since April 2025. The campaigns were delivered through email and the phishing domains used subdomains that mimicked the legitimate SSO sites.
