Description
[TeamPCP](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G1056) is a financially-motivated, cloud-native threat group that has been active since at least September 2025. Initially focused on ransomware and cryptocurrency theft, [TeamPCP](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G1056) shifted in early 2026 to systematic, worm-driven credential theft and software supply chain attacks targeting Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflows. [TeamPCP](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G1056) has monetized access through extortion and through partnerships with ransomware actors including Vect and CipherForce.(Citation: Wiz TeamPCP Profile MAY 2026)(Citation: Wiz Trivy Compromise MAR 2026)(Citation: Aqua Security Trivy Compromise MAR 2026)(Citation: Aqua Security Blog Trivy Compromise APR 2026)(Citation: Palo Alto TeamPCP MAR 2026)(Citation: Trend Micro TeamPCP MAY 2026)

Attributed infrastructure
None published. WhisperGraph carries no ATTRIBUTED_TO edge to TeamPCP today — this states the absence of a published link, not that TeamPCP has no infrastructure.
