The group has performed a\r\nmix of criminal and targeted attacks, including campaigns against government\r\norganizations in the United Kingdom, Spain, Russia, and the United States.\r\nGorgon Group may be related to Transparent Tribe, APT 36 and may be responsible\r\nfor the Aggah activity.\r\nObserved\r\nSectors: Government, Manufacturing.\r\nCountries: Russia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, USA.\r\nTools used\r\nAgent Tesla, Crimson RAT, LokiBot, NanoCore RAT, NetWire RC, njRAT,\r\nQuasarRAT, RemcosRAT, RevengeRAT, Living off the Land.\r\nOperations performed Jul 2017 Small wave of phishing emails targeting a US-based government\r\norganization.\r\nWithin the 43 emails we observed, we found that three unique files\r\nwere delivered, which consisted of two RTFs and a Microsoft Excel\r\nfile. Both RTFs exploited CVE-2012-0158 and acted as downloaders to\r\nultimately deliver the QuasarRAT malware family. The downloaders\r\nmade use of the same shellcode, with minor variances witnessed\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/showcard.cgi?u=7d44d2cd-98a0-4bcf-8ad3-02e3c382cbad\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nbetween them. Additionally, the RTFs made use of heavy obfuscation\nwithin the documents themselves, making it more difficult to extract\nthe embedded shellcode.\nFeb 2018\nIn addition to the numerous targeted attacks, Unit 42 discovered that\nthe group also performed a litany of attacks and operations around the\nglobe, involving both criminal as well as targeted attacks.\nStarting in February 2018, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 identified a\ncampaign of attacks performed by members of Gorgon Group targeting\ngovernmental organizations in the United Kingdom, Spain, Russia, and\nthe United States. Additionally, during that time, members of Gorgon\nGroup were also performing criminal operations against targets across\nthe globe, often using shared infrastructure with their targeted attack\noperations.\nApr 2020\nGorgon APT targeting MSME sector in India\nJul 2020\nAdvance Campaign Targeting Manufacturing and Export Sectors in\nIndia\n\u003e\nMITRE ATT\u0026CK Playbook Last change to this card: 16 August 2025\nDownload this actor card in PDF or JSON format\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/showcard.cgi?u=7d44d2cd-98a0-4bcf-8ad3-02e3c382cbad\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/showcard.cgi?u=7d44d2cd-98a0-4bcf-8ad3-02e3c382cbad\nPage 2 of 2",
