Since January 2026, the Russian state threat actor Star Blizzard has enhanced its cyberespionage operations by adopting a new malware delivery technique called RedFlick, alongside large-scale phishing campaigns and use of compromised website accounts. These tactics improve detection evasion and target Ukrainian individuals and institutions, as well as international NGOs, Western think tanks, governments, and organizations linked to Ukraine support. Indicators include multiple malicious domains, file hashes, and an IP address associated with the campaign. No specific software vulnerabilities or CVEs are identified.
