Armored Likho, also tracked as Eagle Werewolf, emerged in May 2023, with its activities publicly detailed by Kaspersky in July 2026. This China-aligned threat group operates with a dual motivation, blending financially driven attacks, such as credential and infostealer operations, with targeted cyber espionage against government agencies and the electric power sector. The group is distinguished by its use of AI-generated loaders, a custom modular infostealer named BusySnake Stealer, and its integration of reverse tunneling capabilities. Notably, it exploits vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-9491 and has demonstrated a pattern of targeting drone and UAV-related organizations, sometimes leveraging compromised Telegram channels for malware distribution.
This profile is generated from the same canonical actor-card record used by the Threat Actor Cards directory, so aliases, targeting fields, activity notes, and source links stay aligned as the database is enriched.

SOCRadar is the retained baseline for this profile. IntelliOS preserves source labels as discovery and comparison signals until a cited source explicitly supports a merge, split, or actor-boundary change.

Campaign Context
No source-backed campaign or named operation association is currently retained for this actor card. Related campaign rows will appear here when SOCRadar, MITRE ATT&CK Campaigns, Microsoft, Google/Mandiant, CrowdStrike, CISA, or another retained public source ties the actor to a named campaign or operation.
Indicators
No public IOC values are currently retained in IntelliOS for this profile. Future enrichment can add cited observables from SOCRadar, Microsoft threat intelligence, Google/Mandiant, CrowdStrike, MITRE CTI, CISA, vendor reports, and other reliable open sources.
Source coverage: 1 source group tracked; 0 currently contribute retained observable or context rows.

Source Collision Notes
IntelliOS starts this detail page from the retained source record for Armored Likho.
No possible same-actor, alias reuse, sub-cluster, duplicate-boundary, or external-source collision is currently retained for this actor.
| Collision Source | Candidate Records | Shared Evidence | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| None retained | No candidate records | No shared evidence recorded | No collision action needed. |
| External sources | Mandiant, CrowdStrike, other non-SOCRadar sources | None retained | External collisions are shown separately when retained. |
