EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The BO Team is a pro-Ukrainian group that carries out cyberattacks mainly on Russian systems. They became known during the Russia-Ukraine conflict for targeting important Russian networks, especially those linked to government and military. One of their major actions was against a Russian space and weather research center, where they deleted a huge amount of valuable data — around 2 petabytes — stored on over 280 servers. This center supported the Russian defense and weather monitoring services. The attack not only removed important data but also damaged physical systems in the building like cooling, power, and fire safety systems. Their main goal seems to be to cause major and lasting damage to their targets rather than just short-term disruption.
