    CISA, NSA and Partners Release Joint Cybersecurity Advisory on Russian Stat= e-Supported Phishing Campaign Targeting Zimbra Collaboration Suite Users [ = https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa26-204a ] 07/23= /2026 10:20 PM EST=20

    Today, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Nati= onal Security Agency (NSA), along with U.S. government and international pa= rtners, released a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory, Russian State-Supported Cy= ber Actors Conduct Phishing Campaign Targeting Users of Zimbra Collaboratio=
    n Suite [ https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa26-20=
    4a ] detailing malicious activity by the Russian state-supported threat gro=
    up primarily known as LAUNDRY BEAR.

    Since July 2025, LAUNDRY BEAR has targeted Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS)=
    webmail users in various U.S. organizations across the Defense Industrial = Base, federal and local government, education, energy, law enforcement, med= ia, technology, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The group uses n= ovel data exfiltration and aggregation capability called =E2=80=9CUlej=E2= =80=9D (Russian for Beehive) to exploit CVE-2025-66376 [ https://www.cve.or= g/CVERecord?id=3DCVE-2025-66376 ]. Unlike traditional phishing that tries t=
    o persuade users to take an action, LAUNDRY BEAR=E2=80=99s campaign leverag=
    es a view-based exploit that only requires users to view a malicious email = within a vulnerable version of the ZCS webmail service. Once viewed, the ex= ploit can exfiltrate email communications, directories, and other sensitive=
    data.

    Synacor released a patch for CVE 2025-66376 [ https://www.cve.org/CVERecord= ?id=3DCVE-2025-66376 ] for both 10.1.13 and 10.0.18 versions of ZCS in Nove= mber 2025 and the vulnerability was added to CISA=E2=80=99s Known Exploited=
    Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog in March 2026 [ https://www.cisa.gov/news-ev= ents/alerts/2026/03/18/cisa-adds-one-known-exploited-vulnerability-catalog =
    ]. LAUNDRY BEAR=E2=80=99s approach is notable for its manual identification=
    of target organizations and persistent access attempts, indicating a focus=
    ed espionage effort. The actors have shifted tactics, now distributing mali= cious emails from previously compromised accounts to further evade detectio=
    n.

    *If your organization uses ZCS:*


    * Ensure your ZCS software is patched and fully updated.=20
    * If patching is not possible, avoid using the Classic ZCS webmail client=
    and use alternative mail clients.=20
    * Monitor for unusual activity, such as high volumes of outbound data, su= spicious queries, or connections from virtual private network (VPN) provide=
    rs commonly used by threat actors.=20

    Read the full advisory [ https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-adv= isories/aa26-204a ] and implement the detection and mitigation recommendati= ons to protect your organization=E2=80=99s email infrastructure.
