FAQ

Threat groups, explained.

A threat group is a team of attackers that security researchers have tracked across many attacks. Some are criminals after money, such as ransomware gangs. Others are thought to work for governments, collecting intelligence or causing disruption.

APT stands for advanced persistent threat: a well-resourced group, often state-backed, that gets into a network and tries to stay unnoticed for a long time. Many of the groups in this directory are APTs.

Researchers link attacks to a group by the tools, servers, techniques and targets they share. Different security companies often give the same group different names, which is why each profile lists its other names.

No. Every profile in this directory is open to read without an account.

Profiles of over 900 groups with a quote and a source behind every claim, a view of who is targeting your sector, PDF dossiers to share, and the software you run matched against known flaws, ranked from 0 to 100.
