Patchwork APT, also referred to as Dropping Elephant, Monsoon, and Hangover Group, has been operational since at least 2015 with a primary focus on collecting political and military intelligence. This threat actor directs its efforts toward organizations in South and Southeast Asia, emphasizing its strategic targeting of critical sectors. A key characteristic of Patchwork APT is its persistence and adaptiveness; instead of creating new exploits, it often reuses and modifies existing malware and tools. This approach allows the group to operationalize threats more efficiently.
