Signals of Trouble: Multiple Russia-Aligned Threat Actors Actively Targeting Signal Messenger
- Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has observed increasing efforts from several Russia state-aligned threat actors to compromise Signal Messenger accounts used by individuals of interest to Russia's intelligence services, likely due to wartime demands associated with the re-invasion of Ukraine.
- Signal's popularity among targets like military personnel and politicians has made it a prime target for adversaries seeking to intercept sensitive information; similar tactics are also being used on other messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.

- Multiple threat actors devise methods to steal Signal messages, with examples such as APT44 using Windows Batch scripts and Turla leveraging PowerShell to exfiltrate data.
- The widespread targeting of Signal accounts underscores the escalating threat to secure messaging apps, necessitating user vigilance and security measures like two-factor authentication and regular device audits.
- Russian and Belarusian threat actors operate to steal Signal messages, displaying a coordinated effort to undermine encryption and gain access to sensitive communications.
- The detailed IOCs provided and highlighted threat actors' tactics and techniques offer insight into the malicious operations targeting Signal, stressing the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures.
