The group employs sophisticated techniques, such as utilizing carefully crafted phishing emails with visual lures designed to target specific organizations. The campaign aims to compromise ports and maritime facilities in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea regions through espionage and intelligence gathering activities.
