Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

trifectasoftware.com zoominfo.com/c/trifecta-software/464122642 Trifecta Software is a small Costa Rican software development company based in San José, founded in 2011 by Joseph Phillips, a Costa Rican engineer and entrepreneur. The company provides custom software development for U.S. clients (mostly under NDA), plus CRM implementation based on open-source vTiger (branded CostaRicaCRM), and operates within a family of related businesses including a digital marketing agency (Mercadeo Asertivo) and an e-invoicing SaaS (Facturero.com). Its founder previously co-founded a health-tech startup that was acquired by Huli Health in 2018. The team is small — around 6 people — with revenue estimated between $250K and $1.5 million annually. In November 2025, the company registered a new legal entity in Panama, and in 2026 repositioned itself with an "AI-first" custom software branding.
