Russian Hackers Exploit Spyware Tools from NSO and Intellexa

Google's Threat Analysis Group reveals APT29's use of commercial spyware exploits in attacks on Mongolian government websites.

APT29, a Russian state-backed group, used exploits similar to those from NSO Group and Intellexa.
The attacks targeted unpatched iOS and Android devices through watering hole tactics.
Compromised websites included Mongolia's Cabinet and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Exploits were initially developed for commercial spyware but later used by APT29.
Google urges users to keep software updated to mitigate such threats.
