Data From Information Repositories
Data From Information Repositories
The threat group APT28 reportedly compromised Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) during Clinton’s presidential run against Donald Trump. The group has also targeted Eastern European governments, military and security-related organizations, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The group uses a complex set of tools and strategies, surreptitiously accessing information repositories to control and steal data. APT28 has collected information from Microsoft SharePoint services within target networks.
What you need to know: Information repositories are tools that allow for the storage of information — tools like Microsoft SharePoint and Atlassian Confluence. Information repositories typically facilitate collaboration or information sharing between users and they store a wide variety of data that may tempt attackers. Hackers may leverage information repositories to access and mine valuable information.
