APT29 (Cozy Bear) conducted a large-scale watering hole campaign targeting iOS and Android users by compromising legitimate websites, registering fake domains, and hijacking the Plerdy SEO Tracker supply chain — a Ukrainian web analytics service. Injected JavaScript collected browser and device fingerprints to serve n-day exploits for CVE-tracked iOS and Android vulnerabilities against likely diplomatic targets. Sekoia researchers Amaury-Jacques Garçon attributed the campaign to Russia's SVR-linked group.
