It seems really lame to airgap a system and not have some rigorous way of preventing USB infection. Isn't that a really well-known vulnerability?

I'm not sure I buy that it's Russia. Maybe some other governmental authors posing as/blaming Russia. I wonder whichever other nations have done that in the past, and whichever possible ones have the most incentive, and whatever possible incentive could that be? Remember stux/flame?

GoldenJackal is an APT group, active since 2019, that usually targets government and diplomatic entities in the Middle East and South Asia," explains Kaspersky.
