Deploy autonomous AI agents that reason, exploit, and validate complex vulnerability chains — not another scanner, an agentic system that thinks like a senior pentester.
Also known as: APT 12, Numbered Panda, CTG-8223, Bronze Globe, BeeBus, Calc Team, DynCALC, DNSCalc, Group 22, Crimson Iron, Hexagon Typhoon, G0005, NUMBERED PANDA, TG-2754, DynCalc, IXESHE, BRONZE GLOBE, DNSCALC
Numbered Panda has a long list of high-profile victims and is known by a number of names including: DYNCALC, IXESHE, JOY RAT, APT-12, etc. Numbered Panda has targeted a variety of victims including but not limited to media outlets, high-tech companies, and multiple governments. Numbered Panda has targeted organizations in time-sensitive operations such as the Fukushima Reactor Incident of 2011, likely filling intelligence gaps in the ground cleanup/mitigation operations. Screen saver files, which are binary executables and PDF documents, are common Numbered Panda weaponization tactics. One of the most interesting techniques that Numbered Panda likes to use is to dynamically calculate the Command and Control (C2) port by resolving a DNS. This effectively helps Numbered Panda bypass egress filtering implemented to prevent unauthorized communications on some enterprises. The malware will typically use two DNS names for communication: one is used for command and control; the other is used with an algorithm to calculate the port to communicate to.
