UNC3966 primary motivations remain unclear. During the intrusion, the group was observed collecting and exfiltrating victim data. While a ransom note was also discovered, UNC3966 did not appear to deploy ransomware encryption software and did not appear to demand a ransom payment.<sup>[Mandiant UNC961 March 23 2023]</sup>
