TA2541 is a cybercriminal group that has been targeting the aviation, aerospace, transportation, manufacturing, and defense industries since at least 2017. TA2541 campaigns are typically high volume and involve the use of commodity remote access tools obfuscated by crypters and themes related to aviation, transportation, and travel.[1][2]
Enterprise ATT&CK only. Any Mobile or ICS rows on the same ATT&CK page are not carried.

Standing G1018
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
64th percentile · 64% of 176 ATT&CK groups have this many Enterprise techniques or fewer.
52nd percentile · 52% of 176 ATT&CK groups have this many tactics spanned or fewer.
81st percentile · 81% 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
38th percentile · 62% of 176 ATT&CK groups have more detection rules per technique.
Detection coverage G1018
1195 distinct rules cover the 28 techniques recorded for this group. The 1303 technique-to-rule mappings resolve to 1195 distinct rules, because one rule can cover several techniques. 789 Sigma · 406 Splunk.
