Neanderthals, a group of threat actors, operating as a legitimate company to carry out scams. Aspiring members recruited through underground forums and granted access to specific Telegram channels.

They engage in real estate fraud and remain anonymous using VPNs, proxies, and TOR. This discovery sheds light on the increasingly complex methods used criminals in the digital space.
