On August 14, cybersecurity experts from The Citizen Lab, Access Now, and other organizations published a report on the FSB's phishing campaign targeting civil society. One tactic involves impersonating someone familiar to the target, tricking them into clicking a malicious link in an email or document. These links often prompt users to decrypt a file or log into fake interfaces of services like Gmail or ProtonMail. The aim is to gain access to online accounts, devices, and even biometric data like fingerprints.

To stay safe, always verify the sender’s email address, check the domain of any links you intend to open, and confirm via other channels that you are communicating with the intended person.

The Access Now digital security hotline is available to assist members of civil society.
