ANTHROPOID SPIDER, publicly known by aliases such as EmpireMonkey and CobaltGoblin, is a criminal organization first identified as active in financial theft and information exfiltration campaigns since at least October 2018. The group primarily targets organizations within the financial sector, engaging in operations aimed at stealing funds and financial data. Notable activities include phishing campaigns conducted in early 2019 that spoofed financial regulatory bodies and institutions. The group is assessed to have facilitated a breach involving fraudulent transfers over the SWIFT network, distinguishing it through direct financial exploitation rather than traditional data encryption and ransom demands. Its operational methodology emphasizes stealth and the use of various aliases to maintain obfuscation.
