Appin was an Indian cyberespionage company started in 2003 and run by brothers Rajat and Anuj Khare. Although it initially started as a cybersecurity training firm, by 2010 the company had begun providing hacking services for governments and corporate clients. In 2013, a report by Shadowserver Foundation pointed to evidence linking Appin to several hacks of high-profile organizations.

The company offered what its founders termed "ethical hacking" services. Appin reportedly hacked into private computers on behalf of both government and private clients. The firm rebranded in 2022 and its employees went on to form other similar firms including CyberRoot Risk Advisory and BellTroX InfoTech Services.
