Country[Unknown]
SponsorState-sponsored
MotivationInformation theft and espionage
First seen2021
Description(Symantec) A previously unseen actor, likely nation-state-backed, is targeting organizations in South Asia, with a focus on Afghanistan, in what appears to be an information-stealing campaign using a new toolset.

The Harvester group uses both custom malware and publicly available tools in its attacks, which began in June 2021, with the most recent activity seen in October 2021. Sectors targeted include telecommunications, government, and information technology (IT). The capabilities of the tools, their custom development, and the victims targeted, all suggest that Harvester is a nation-state-backed actor.
ObservedSectors: Government, IT, Telecommunications.
Countries: Afghanistan and South Asia.
Tools usedCobalt Strike, Graphon, Metasploit.
