Pakistani-Linked Hacker Group Targets Indian Government (Alessandro Mascellino – Infosecurity Magazine)

A cyber-espionage campaign aimed at Indian government entities running Linux systems has been uncovered by security researchers. The activity, attributed by Sekoia.io to the Pakistan-based group TransparentTribe (also known as APT36), involves a new remote access tool (RAT) called “DeskRAT” and reflects an evolution in the group’s tactics. According to Sekoia.io’s new report, published today, the campaign began in June 2025 and primarily targeted systems running the Bharat Operating System Solutions (BOSS) Linux distribution endorsed by the Indian government.
