APT19 G0073
Also known as Codoso, C0d0so0, Codoso Team, Sunshop Group.
APT19 is a Chinese-based threat group that has targeted a variety of industries, including defense, finance, energy, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, high tech, education, manufacturing, and legal services. In 2017, a phishing campaign was used to target seven law and investment firms. Some analysts track APT19 and Deep Panda as the same group, but it is unclear from open source information if the groups are the same.
Documented targeting: Financial Services, Healthcare, Defense, Energy & Utilities, Manufacturing, Telecommunications, Education & Research
Methodology
Relevance is a match on your industry sector and technology stack against the MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 group graph (174 groups, 821 software families, 56 campaigns). It is computed deterministically from that data, with no language model in the request path. It is a relevance match, not threat-intelligence probability data: it tells you which documented actors and techniques are worth emulating for an org like yours, not a forecast that any specific group will act.
TurboPentest can autonomously exercise 0 of 21 of this actor's documented techniques today (0%). 6 are out of scope for automated testing (social engineering, denial of service, physical).

These counts are computed from the vendored MITRE ATT&CK graph and the published coverage map, and are reproducible from source.
