According to Deutsche Welle, the cybercriminals tried to steal the materials of the investigation into the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 crash in Donbas.

The Trend Micro also stated that the main objectives of the Pawn Storm in the network included the government, military, and media resources of the United States, Ukraine and other countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, as well as the NATO databases and the websites of Russian opponents of the Kremlin.
