FireEye recently released a report called "APT30 AND THE MECHANICS OF A LONG-RUNNING CYBER ESPIONAGE OPERATION" .The report focuses on a targeted threat group that we call APT30 (Advanced Persistent Threat group 30) and details how a cyber-threat group exploited Governments and commercial entities across India and Southeast Asia for over a decade.

APT30 is noted for sustained activity, and also for successfully maintaining the same tools, tactics, and infrastructure since at least 2005.

Highlights of the report:

  • Identifies and steals documents, especially documents that may be stored on air-gapped networks
