· Original article ↗

Summary

An analysis of Earth Sirrush indicators found 283 email-connected domains, six domains likely registered maliciously, and 95 potential victim IPs communicating with 11 IP indicators. The article cautions that some flagged entities may prove harmless.

Key points

  • TrendAI Research tracks the Russia-aligned intrusion set as Earth Sirrush, formerly SHADOW-EARTH-065; it overlaps with CERT-UA's UAC-0099 designation.
  • A TrendAI report traced the group's spearphishing operations against Ukrainian government, defense, border guard, and logistics targets from 2022 to July 2026.
  • The analysis examined 49 network indicators after excluding three domains from an original set of 52.
  • Six domain indicators were assessed as likely registered with malicious intent; sample network data showed 95 potential victim IPs communicating with 11 IP indicators.
  • Reverse WHOIS analysis of public email indicators identified 283 unique email-connected domains; 12 had recorded visits since January 1, 2026.
  • The subdomain order[.]cyberflysystems[.]com may be typosquatting the cyberfly brand; three historical IPs associated with its apex domain had links to malware distribution and phishing.

Article Details

Attack Vectors
  • Earth Sirrush reportedly launched a sustained spearphishing campaign against Ukrainian government agencies, defense organizations, border guard units, and logistics operators.
  • Three historical IP addresses associated with the cyberflysystems.com apex domain were linked to malware distribution and phishing between 2023 and 2026.
Defensive Notes
  • The article recommends supplementary investigation to corroborate entities identified as threats or malicious, as assessments may change with further evidence or context.
