The advanced persistent threat (APT) actor known as Tonto Team carried out an unsuccessful attack on cybersecurity company Group-IB in June 2022.
The Singapore-headquartered firm said that it detected and blocked malicious phishing emails originating from the group targeting its employees. It’s also the second attack aimed at Group-IB, the first of which took place in March 2021.
Tonto Team, also called Bronze Huntley, Cactus Pete, Earth Akhlut, Karma Panda, and UAC-0018, is a suspected Chinese hacking group that has been linked to attacks targeting a wide range of organizations in Asia and Eastern Europe.
