Is Evil Corp their actual name, or just what the US law enforcement called them? https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm845

It looks like that's just the name of a group - like anonymous, lulzsec, equation, shadow brokers, etc.

It's likely a nod to Mr. Robot, where the company that the hackers are infiltrating is called Evil Corp.

Its E Corp, Elliot call's them Evil Corp (He says in episode 1 iirc, that he basically replaced E Corp with Evil Corp in his own internal dialogue)

Real or not, I'll keep using that name as a placeholder for any evil corporation.
