In response to Russian “cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election,” the White House released a declassified joint analysis by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security on Thursday of the campaign they have named “Grizzly Steppe.”
In the report, the agencies summarize the spear-phishing operation that allowed the Russian intelligence organizations known as “Cozy Bear” and “Fancy Bear” to independently access Democratic Party emails and recommend a series of measures to mitigate further attacks. Far more importantly, they list alternate names for the hacking groups, all of which are tight as hell.
