Six Russian GRU Officers Charged in Connection with Worldwide Deployment of Destructive Malware and Other Disruptive Actions in Cyberspace

Indictment of six officers of GRU Unit 74455 (Sandworm). The charged conduct includes April–May 2017 spear-phishing and hack-and-leak operations targeting Emmanuel Macron's La République En Marche! party, French politicians and local governments ahead of the 2017 French election — a later, formal U.S. attribution of the operation to Russian military intelligence.
