Recently, a Chinese state-sponsored APT group targeted at least five online gambling firms. The adoption of ransomware tactics points to the fact that these APT groups are aiming for financial gains as these attacks don’t count as espionage targets.

The attack was launched by APT27, also known as Emissary Panda. This is a Chinese state-sponsored APT group that mainly focuses on cyberespionage. However, this particular attack stands out since the group resorted to ransomware tactics, which is unexpected of it, and thus, was mainly focused on financial gains. Hence, it can be said that APT27 is not just aiming at stealing information and data, but has evolved to encompass financial motives in its attacks.
