APT37 is a North Korean state-linked cyber-espionage cluster also known as Reaper, ScarCruft, InkySquid, Ricochet Chollima, Group123, and TA-RedAnt. It is associated with the DPRK National Intelligence Agency, formerly the Ministry of State Security, and is assessed to operate against DPRK defectors, South Korean activists focused on North Korea, non-governmental organizations, and political targets. The group’s activity is primarily oriented toward surveillance and intelligence collection. Infrastructure and tradecraft associations with other DPRK clusters, including Lazarus and Kimsuky, can complicate precise campaign-level attribution.
