Agrius dumped the SAM file on victim machines to capture credentials.5

Standing G1030
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
Techniques2257th pct
57th percentile · 57% of 176 ATT&CK groups have this many Enterprise techniques or fewer.
Tactics1273rd pct
73rd percentile · 73% 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.
Campaigns089% tie · 4 values
89% of the population shares a single value across only 4 distinct values, so a percentile here would rank the tie, not the entity.
