ESET: Belarusian hackers increasingly act as proxies for Russia

ESET reported an "unprecedented operational convergence" between Russian and Belarusian hacking campaigns. In late May, Belarus-linked group GhostWriter carried out its first documented destructive wiper attack in Europe, hitting a Ukrainian transportation manufacturer. North Korean hackers have also expanded targeting of Ukrainian organizations.

• GhostWriter is tied to Belarusian intelligence and previously ran espionage ops against Ukraine and Poland
• The wiper attack on a Ukrainian manufacturer was the first destructive op by a Belarus-aligned group in Europe
• ESET warns of possible tool and infrastructure sharing between Russian and Belarusian hackers
• North Korean hackers expanded targeting of Ukraine's drone industry
