Gamaredon in 2025: Leveraging tunnels, workers, dead drops, and new alliances

AI Summary

ESET Research published a detailed 2025 analysis of Gamaredon (FSB-linked APT), documenting the group's adoption of DNS tunneling, Cloudflare Workers for C2 obfuscation, dead-drop resolvers on legitimate platforms, and new tooling alliances to evade detection and hide infrastructure. The group has significantly upgraded its operational security compared to prior campaigns, making traditional IOC-based defenses less effective against this persistent Ukraine-focused threat actor. Defenders targeting Gamaredon should focus on behavioral detection of tunneling protocols and abuse of legitimate cloud services.
