Earth Minotaur

Description

(Trend Micro) We believe that Earth Minotaur is an intrusion set which hasn’t been publicly reported. In the first report of MOONSHINE exploit kit in 2019, the threat actor using the toolkit was named Poison Carp, Evil Eye. While both used the MOONSHINE exploit kit and had similar targets, we did not find further connections between Earth Minotaur and POISON CARP. The backdoor DarkNimbus had been developed in 2018 but was not found in any of POISON CARP’s previous activity. Therefore, we categorized them as two different intrusion sets.
