About APT29
APT29 is a state-integrated hacking group (foreign intelligence service/agency members):
The aforementioned industry and government sources characterise ATP29 as a direct agent of the Russian state, as part of the foreign intelligence service SVR. The operations are most often directed against Western societies labeled by the Russian government as “unfriendly states,” with targets based in the US, UK, and across the EU. The technical sophistication and target selection of the group (see below) are strong indicators for its state integration (especially integration into secret services).
