threat intel
Google changes how it names cyber threat actors
Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has introduced a unified naming system for tracked threat actors following the merger of Mandiant and Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG). The consolidation addresses the prior inconsistency created by two separate naming schemes, one using sequential identifiers like APT1 and another using independently developed names.
Why it matters: Security practitioners and threat researchers need to update internal documentation and alert systems to align with Google's new naming convention, as reports and intelligence feeds will reference actors under the revised nomenclature.
