Group5 is a cyber threat group that has targeted individuals connected to the Syrian opposition. It uses spearphishing and watering hole attacks to deliver malware, including the njRAT remote access trojan. Its malware supports surveillance of compromised systems through screen monitoring and keystroke capture, as well as remote file deletion. Group5 protects malicious binaries with multiple layers of obfuscation, including file encryption, to hinder detection and analysis. Its national origin and state sponsorship have not been definitively established.
