The takeaway: The GRU has followed the same five phase disruptive playbook throughout the war. Alternatives have existed, but the GRU has opted for the same tradecraft on repeat. We assess that these choices are calculated adaptations to a wartime operating environment.

GRU’s playbook on cyber disruption and infoops
@danwblack.bsky.social & I published a blog today building on a ton of work across Mandigoogle, UA CERT & the industry. We’ve identified technical & strategic patterns in GRU wartime disruptive ops we call the GRU Disruptive Playbook. https://www.mandiant.com/resources/blog/gru-disruptive-playbook
The GRU's Disruptive Playbook
We have tracked GRU disruptive operations against Ukraine adhering to a standard five-phase playbook.

Notable Storm-0875 tradecraft
1. Initial Access: Sms phishing + AITM or purchase infostealer logs (bypasses most defenses)
2. Privilege escalation via SIM swapping or call number forwarding global admin’s personal phone
3. Time from initial access to global admin often occurs within hours

If you haven’t turned on non sms/push 2FA and are a tech/bpo, retail, or telco org, they will find a weak spot and ruin your summer.
IMO: Storm-0875 (overlaps UNC3944/Scattered Spider) is the most dangerous financial threat actor right now

Some recent developments:
1. Now deploying ransomware (had been extorting orgs before)
2. In last few months targeting large/well known enterprises (not just telcos/help desk/crypto orgs)
