DEV-0147 is a China-based state-sponsored cyber espionage actor that first emerged in February 2023, notably expanding its operations to target diplomatic entities in South America, a region distinct from its traditional focus on government agencies and think tanks in Asia and Europe. The group's primary motivation is cyber espionage and data exfiltration. DEV-0147 is distinguished by its consistent use of established hacking tools like ShadowPad, QuasarLoader, and Cobalt Strike in its campaigns. The moniker DEV-0147 is used by Microsoft to track this emerging threat cluster.
