Chinese cybercrime syndicate behind gambling sites advertised at European sporting events

Researchers have discovered that a group that serves as the industry's backbone is connected to a constellation of illicit online gambling brands whose ads are displayed in football stadiums across Europe.

A new report from cloud network security company Infoblox reveals an alleged Chinese cybercrime syndicate that it names Vigorish Viper (a reference to the commission a bookie charges), which is allegedly connected to human trafficking in Southeast Asia through cyber fraud and contributes to an illicit global gambling economy valued at approximately $1.7 trillion annually.
