Our specialists collected multiple samples of malware used by the group. They have also identified the organizations hit by the attackers, as well as the attackers’ C2 servers. Our data indicates that the group has been active since at least September 2016. The primary goal of the group is theft of confidential data. Main targets are governmental institutions in Brazil, India, Kazakhstan, Russia, Thailand, and Turkey. Our data gives reason to believe that the APT group is of Asian origin. | |
