Scarlet Mimic is a threat group that has targeted minority rights activists. This group has not been directly linked to a government source, but the group's motivations appear to overlap with those of the Chinese government. While there is some overlap between IP addresses used by Scarlet Mimic and Putter Panda, it has not been concluded that the groups are the same. [1]
Enterprise ATT&CK only. Any Mobile or ICS rows on the same ATT&CK page are not carried.

Standing G0029
Reach is how much of ATT&CK this group touches. Coverage is how well defended each thing it does is, as a median per technique rather than a total — a total would just restate the reach. Each figure is ranked against all 176 ATT&CK groups only where that population actually spreads. Where most of the population shares one value, a percentile would rank the tie instead of the entity, so the raw value is shown and no rank is claimed.
Reach
5th percentile · 95% of 176 ATT&CK groups have more Enterprise techniques.
6th percentile · 94% of 176 ATT&CK groups have more tactics spanned.
55th percentile · 55% of 176 ATT&CK groups have this many tools and malware or fewer.
89% of the population shares a single value across only 4 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
Coverage
13th percentile · 87% of 176 ATT&CK groups have more detection rules per technique.
Detection coverage G0029
