Online gambling operations in Southeast Asia were subject to advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks for years now, according to Kaspersky report.
DiceyF distributed malware that targeted online casinos. The organization may be after intellectual property theft and espionage. Kaspersky found no evidence of cash theft or financial motive behind the recent APT activity. It is possible that Diceyf leveraged a stolen digital certificate from a messaging application and distributed the malware.
