Azerbaijan blames Russian state hackers for cyberattacks on local media (Daryna Antoniuk – The Record)

Azerbaijani officials claimed that the Russian state-sponsored hacker group APT29 was behind a cyberattack on several local media outlets earlier this year. The likely motive, according to Ramid Namazov, head of the Azerbaijani parliament’s commission on countering hybrid threats, was retaliation for the closure of the Russian House state-funded cultural center in Baku and significant staff cuts at the Azerbaijani branch of Sputnik radio.
