Donot Team, a threat actor operating since at least 2016, has been waging a two-year campaign of cyber espionage attacks against South Asian countries bordering India, researchers at cybersecurity company ESET reported last week. International human rights group Amnesty International has alleged that there are links between the attack infrastructure used by Donot Team and Delhi-based information security company Innefu Labs, something the company has denied.
In its report on cyberattacks against a human rights campaigner in the African country of Togo, Amnesty accused Innefu Labs of playing a role in the development of spyware tools linked to Donot Team, although it said there was no technical evidence to suggest Donot Team was directly responsible for or aware of attacks against the campaigner in Togo.
