Chamelgang, also known by its alias CamoFei, is an advanced persistent threat (APT) group believed to be linked to Chinese state-sponsored cyber espionage activities. The group first came to prominence in 2021, emerging with a low-profile approach that prioritized persistent data theft and espionage. A distinguishing characteristic of Chamelgang is its strategic use of ransomware, primarily the CatB strain, not primarily for financial gain but as a deceptive tactic to distract defenders, obscure their true intelligence-gathering objectives, and facilitate misattribution or destruction of evidence. They are particularly noted for their adaptability and ability to camouflage their operations by mimicking legitimate services and infrastructure from well-known companies through domain spoofing and fake SSL certificates.
