APT-C-34, also known as El Machete, is a cyber espionage group that first emerged with documented activity as early as 2010, focusing primarily on information theft from entities in Latin America. The group is widely assessed to have Spanish-speaking roots, evident in their operational focus and malware characteristics, setting them apart from other regionally-aligned threat actors. APT-C-34 distinguishes itself through its sustained targeting of government, military, and diplomatic sectors within Latin American countries, demonstrating a persistent commitment to intelligence gathering in this region. This group should not be confused with APT34 (OilRig), which is a separate Iranian state-sponsored entity with a different geographic focus.
