Since February 2011, members of the Dell SecureWorks Counter Threat Unit(TM) (CTU) have been engaged in a project to uncover and track as many elements as possible of the so-called “Advanced Persistent Threat” (APT), the term commonly used to refer to cyber-espionage activity carried out against governments, activists, and industry. “Elements” can be anything that provides a point of information — malware, command and control (C2) domains, hostnames, IP addresses, actors, exploits, targets, tools, tactics, and so on. Even though this project is not (and probably never will be) complete, CTU researchers have learned a great deal about the scope and scale of the threat so far, and the insights have been disturbing.
