El Machete is a cyber espionage group, also known as APT-C-43 or G0095, primarily targeting Spanish-speaking nations, particularly in Latin America. The group emerged around 2010, initially noted for its use of Python-based malware for data exfiltration. El Machete consistently refines its toolset and infrastructure to maintain effectiveness against high-profile targets such as military, government, and diplomatic entities. The group is distinct for its use of previously stolen, legitimate documents as compelling lures in spear-phishing campaigns, tailoring them with specific military jargon and etiquette to enhance credibility. While its origins are tied to Spanish-speaking individuals, the group has been suspected of having links to the Venezuelan intelligence apparatus.
