SixLittleMonkeys is a Chinese-speaking, China-aligned threat actor also referred to as Microcin. Reporting cited in the content links the group to cyber espionage activity targeting diplomatic and government entities, particularly in Central Asia, and more broadly entities in Central Asia, Russia, Belarus, and Mongolia. Kaspersky attributed a diplomatic-targeted campaign to SixLittleMonkeys that used steganography to deliver modules via the legitimate image-hosting service Cloudinary. Kaspersky also reported a March 2020 campaign using a new version of the Microcin Trojan and a RAT called HawkEye as a last-stage payload, and separately assessed with medium confidence that the B&W malware is related to SixLittleMonkeys. The group is described as best known for deploying Gh0st RAT and a RAT called Mikroceen. The content also notes tradecraft commonalities and overlaps with other China-nexus clusters including Webworm, FishMonger, and Space Pirates; Webworm is specifically described as sharing tradecraft with SixLittleMonkeys and also using Trochilus.
