Water Sigbin, also known as 8220 Gang, is a financially motivated cybercriminal group assessed with moderate confidence to be of Chinese origin, primarily focused on cryptojacking and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) operations. Active since at least 2017, the group distinguishes itself through its opportunistic exploitation of unpatched systems and misconfigured public-facing cloud infrastructure and applications, often leveraging a relatively low-skill approach that has evolved to incorporate more sophisticated evasion techniques over time. The group's primary objective is to compromise systems to install cryptocurrency miners, predominantly for Monero, and to establish IRC-based botnets for resource hijacking and DDoS attacks.
