Packrat is a cyber espionage group that emerged as early as 2008, primarily targeting political figures, opposition groups, journalists, and activists within Latin American countries, particularly those associated with the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) alliance. The group's primary motivation is intelligence gathering through covert surveillance and data exfiltration. Packrat is assessed with moderate confidence to be sponsored by a state actor or actors with regional political interests, based on its targeting patterns and operational characteristics, with some infrastructure and malware samples linked to Brazil. A distinguishing characteristic of Packrat is its strategy of creating and maintaining fake opposition groups and news organizations online, which are then used to distribute malware and conduct phishing attacks.
