The company might as well be a decoy(iirc the company was doing some penetration testing and security audits), the reason I said this was I read some IR team's reports on an alleged DarkBasin attack, it had some features characteristic of a SideWinder attack. It can very well be assumed that even though they do not work for the government they can be hired like mercenaries to get the job down, Chinese MSS related groups often do that.Dark Basin isn't Indian intelligence. It belongs to a company in Noida, and Dark Basin is likely a HaaS used by Indian intelligence in rare cases. Dropping Elephant and Viceroy Tiger are state-run APT's, Dark Basin and (quite likely) SideWinder are independent operators hired at times by the GoI. Their targets are diverse ranging from companies like Exxon and other climate change orgs which have nothing to do with India. India isn't powerful at all in the cyber-warfare world. Our talent pool is massive, and cyber doesn't require a lot of funding, however, there is a lack of political(read bureaucratic) will to ensure that we have a capability to conduct cyber warfare. Was excited by the establishment of the DCA, just been waiting for 4 years now.....
