I previously tweeted that a prior indictment was ~APT10. I was analytically lazy & wrong. So I want to highlight parts of the actual #APT10 indictment from today. First, DOJ used the term APT10. I can't recall other cases where DOJ has used an existing group name, can you? (1/n)

Long rumored @TheJusticeDept indictment of #APT10 is out. sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/c…
Here are my observations/highlights from reading the indictment (channeling my inner @pwnallthethings):
-the indictment indicates #APT10 operations started in 2006 and went through 2018. The 2006 activity was likely focused on US Government, Military, and defense contractors

1/n
Interestingly the indictment calls out multiple government organizations by name that were victims including:
@NASAGoddard, @NASAJPL, @LLNL, and the @USNavy
