ATK41 (aka: APT10, Stone Panda, CVNX, MenuPass Group, Potassium, Red Apollo, Hogfish, Cloud Hopper, DustStorm, Happyyongzi) is a threat group that appears to originate from China and has been active since approximately 2009. The group is also used to conduct supply chain attacks in order to infiltrate large groups to conduct industrial espionage campaigns. Among the preferred targets of this group are companies in the energy, high-tech and manufacturing sectors.
However, some of the attackers have been arrested by the US FBI. Indeed, on 17 December 2018, a grand jury in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York indicted ZHU HUA , a.k.a. "Afwar", a.k.a. "CVNX", a.k.a. "Alayos", a.k.a. "Godkiller", and ZHANG SHILONG , a.k.a. "Baobilong", a.k.a. "Zhang Jianguo", a.k.a. "Atreexp". The defendants worked for Huaying Haitai
Science and Technology Development Company located in Tianjin, China, and acted in association with the Tianjin State Security Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
