The Digital Desperados Podcast explores infamous cybercriminals and attacks with host Jim Brangenberg, story guide Patrick McMurphy, and SaferNet CEO Brad Hawkins. In this episode, they delve into the activities of Cozy Bear, a sophisticated state-sponsored hacking group linked to Russia. Cozy Bear specializes in cyber espionage, targeting entities largely across the US, Canada, and Europe, with a focus on disrupting sectors like military, government, and energy.
Using advanced techniques like steganography, Cozy Bear became famous for embedding viruses in image files for covert infiltration. Their notorious tool, Cozy Duke, silently extracts data from compromised computers for prolonged intrusion. The podcast highlights Cozy Bear's major attacks, including breaches at the Pentagon and DNC servers during the 2016 US election. Despite occasional detections, Cozy Bear remains elusive, continuously adapting to evade detection. The episode underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, such as VPNs and antivirus software, in safeguarding against cyber threats like Cozy Bear.
