Gorgon Group is a Pakistan-linked threat actor associated with spearphishing-led intrusions and commodity-malware-enabled espionage activity. The group is known for sending phishing emails with malicious Microsoft Office attachments and relying on user execution of lure documents to initiate compromise. Observed tradecraft includes use of macros and VBScript in phishing attachments, PowerShell- and command-shell-based payload execution, Base64 decoding of staged content, downloading additional files from command-and-control infrastructure, and opening decoy documents to mask malicious activity. The group has demonstrated persistence through Windows autostart mechanisms, including Registry Run keys and shortcut-based startup persistence, and has used process hollowing to inject trojan payloads into other processes. Defense-evasion behavior includes concealing PowerShell execution with hidden window parameters and weakening Microsoft Office security settings through Registry modification. Reporting has also associated the group with use of commodity remote access trojans and downloaders such as Remcos, Quasar, njRAT, and GuLoader, reflecting a pattern of leveraging broadly available malware rather than exclusively bespoke tooling. Aliases include Gorgon, GorgonGroup, and The Gorgon Group. Available evidence supports characterization as a phishing-centric intrusion set with a strong emphasis on initial access, execution, persistence, defense evasion, and follow-on payload delivery. Geographic evidence in the supplied material links the actor to Pakistan and indicates targeting that includes India.
