Citizen Lab has a new report on Dark Basin, a large hacking-for-hire company in India.

Dark Basin is a hack-for-hire group that has targeted thousands of individuals and hundreds of institutions on six continents.

Dark Basin extensively targeted American nonprofits, including organisations working on a campaign called #ExxonKnew, which asserted that ExxonMobil hid information about climate change for decades.

We link Dark Basin with high confidence to an Indian company, BellTroX InfoTech Services, and related entities.

Citizen Lab has notified hundreds of targeted individuals and institutions and, where possible, provided them with assistance in tracking and identifying the campaign.
