Rainbow Hyena is an unidentified hacktivist threat actor associated with phishing campaigns targeting organizations in Russia, particularly in the health care and information technology sectors. The group has been observed delivering a custom C++ backdoor known as PhantomRemote through malicious email attachments. Reported tradecraft includes phishing-based initial access and the use of the legitimate tunneling service ngrok as part of its operational infrastructure, consistent with abuse of legitimate services for command-and-control or remote access facilitation. Public reporting currently supports characterization of Rainbow Hyena as a Russia-targeting intrusion set, but attribution beyond that remains unconfirmed.
