Summary

Hide ▲

The Infy group is actively using Foudre and Tonnerre to deliver a second-stage implant that extracts data from high-value machines. The malware activity matters because it shows the actor is still operational in 2025 and is updating its tooling to sustain intrusion and exfiltration capabilities. The delivery chain relies on phishing emails and has evolved to make command-and-control more resilient.
