Vexday analysis

Axiom é um grupo de espionagem cibernética de origem chinesa suspeita que atua pelo menos desde 2008, tendo como alvos os setores aeroespacial, de defesa, governamental, manufatureiro e de mídia. Registrado no MITRE ATT&CK como G0001 e também conhecido como Group 72, o grupo possui 16 técnicas documentadas na matriz ATT&CK e está associado à exploração de 6 CVEs. Alguns relatórios indicam certo grau de sobreposição com o Winnti Group, embora os dois conjuntos de atividades sejam tratados como distintos com base em diferenças de TTPs e padrões de alvejamento.
