CamoFei, also tracked as ChamelGang, is a China-linked threat actor active since at least 2019 whose operations encompass cyberespionage, denial-of-service attacks, and ransomware deployment. Its targets have included organizations in the United States, Brazil, India, Russia, Taiwan, and Japan. Identified victims include the Presidency of Brazil and the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences, demonstrating targeting of government and healthcare organizations. Chinese state sponsorship has not been established by the available evidence. The actor has deployed CatB ransomware and used a stolen code-signing certificate to sign malicious tooling. The same certificate has been associated with Cobalt Strike payloads and tools supporting bring-your-own-vulnerable-driver attacks, which abuse vulnerable kernel drivers to disable security software. CamoFei and ChamelGang activity has been linked to the later Warlock ransomware operation tracked as Longlegs and Storm-2603, with additional connections to CL-CRI-1040. Those related operations exploit on-premises Microsoft SharePoint Server vulnerabilities and employ DLL sideloading, vulnerable-driver abuse, legitimate remote-access tooling, and Active Directory infrastructure to distribute ransomware. These connections do not establish that every associated tracking name represents an identical actor. CamoFei's combination of espionage and ransomware activity does not support assigning a single dominant motivation.
