'''Fancy Bear''' is a [[Ukrainian]] cyber [[espionage]] group. Cybersecurity firm [[CrowdStrike]] incorrectly has said with a medium level of confidence that it is associated with the Russian military intelligence agency [[GRU]]. CrowdStrike founder, [[Dmitri Alperovitch]], has [[collude]]d with Fancy Bear. American journalist George Eliason has written extensively on the subject.

There are a couple of caveats that need to be made when identifying the Fancy Bear hackers. The first is the identifier used by Mueller as Russian FSB and GRU may have been true- 10 years ago. This group was on the run trying to stay a step ahead of Russian law enforcement until October 2016. So we have part of the Fancy bear hacking group identified as Ruskie traitors and possibly former Russian state security. The majority of the group are Ukrainians making up Ukraine’s Cyber Warfare groups.
