APT36 Analysis
Activities
Timeline
The analysis of the timeline helps to identify the required approach and handling of single vulnerabilities and vulnerability collections. This overview makes it possible to see less important slices and more severe hotspots at a glance. Initiating immediate vulnerability response and prioritizing of issues is possible.
Activities
Interest
Vulnerabilities
Campaigns (2)
These are the campaigns that can be associated with the actor:
- C-Major
- Xxxxxxx Xxx
IOC - Indicator of Compromise (59)
These indicators of compromise highlight associated network ressources which are known to be part of research and attack activities.
TTP - Tactics, Techniques, Procedures (8)
Tactics, techniques, and procedures summarize the suspected MITRE ATT&CK techniques used. This data is unique as it uses our predictive model for actor profiling.
