Also known as Earth Centaur and KeyBoy, the advanced persistent threat (APT) has been around since 2011, conducting espionage campaigns against organizations in government, healthcare, high-tech, and transportation sectors in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Taiwan.

As part of the attacks conducted over the past year and a half, Trend Micro warned that the group attempted to access flight schedules, financial plans, and other internal documents at the target organizations, as well as any personal information available on the compromised hosts, including search histories.
