    Russia's Fancy Bear hacking team (aka APT28) isn't just focused on meddling with elections and retaliating against anti-doping agencies. Symantec has observed Fancy Bear conducting intelligence gathering hacks in Europe and South America, including governments, military targets, an embassy and a "well-known international organization." The group has been using a common set of tools to conduct the campaign, although it also recently expanded its repertoire to include hacks that are considerably harder to stop.
