  • Several prefixes previously associated with Russian and Bulgarian threat groups are now linked to FDN3 and related networks.
  • The attacks peaked between July 6 and 8, 2025, leveraging techniques used by ransomware and cybercrime groups.
  • Analysis reveals offshore hosting and peering agreements that obscure the true operators behind these malicious networks.
