# SmokeLoader - Cyber Threat Intelligence These _indicators_ were reported, collected, and generated during the [VulDB CTI analysis](https://vuldb.com/?kb.cti) of the campaign known as _SmokeLoader_. The _activity monitoring_ correlates data from social media, forums, chat rooms, and darknet markets. It helps to determine associated actors, specific activities, expected intentions, emerging research, and ongoing attacks. Our unique _predictive model_ uses _big data_ to forecast activities and their characteristics. _Live data_ and more _analysis capabilities_ are available at [https://vuldb.com/?actor](https://vuldb.com/?actor) ## Countries These _countries_ are directly (e.g. origin of attacks) or indirectly (e.g. access by proxy) associated with SmokeLoader: * [US](https://vuldb.com/?country.us) * [CN](https://vuldb.com/?country.cn) * [ES](https://vuldb.com/?country.es) * ... There are 11 more country items available. Please use our online service to access the data. ## Actors These _actors_ are associated with SmokeLoader or other actors linked to the campaign.
