CMDOrganization is a global crime group known for stealing sensitive data while posing as a corporate security company.
Analyst brief
CMDOrganization is a global crime group posing as a corporate security company specializing in vulnerability identification. It targets 10 countries including the US, Canada, and India across diverse sectors like Professional Services, Healthcare, Government, and Energy. Their core TTP likely revolves around gaining initial access and stealing sensitive data under the guise of software vulnerability assessments, leveraging the need for confidentiality. Defenders should focus on supply chain risks from third-party software, scrutinize unsolicited security audit offers, and monitor for anomalous internal system queries originating from unrecognized external IPs.
