  6. @wordshaper fwiw i've been saying ever since the fam partnered with #JustinSun that they are obviously in business with the chinese mafia and the #pigbutchering scam centers, because laundering money for those operations is justin sun's primary line of business.

  7. "This is the story of how dealmaking by the Trump family's $3 billion crypto firm put it in uncomfortable proximity to alleged criminals sanctioned by the Trump government."

    (tl;dr the #Trump family's in business with the chinese #mafia, which shouldn't surprise anyone who reads my feed but still nice to see such concrete confirmation)

  12. Two of the biggest heavyweight scam TTPs - malvertising and pig butchering - have combined. In our latest research, we track hundreds of investment‑scam campaigns using this one-two punch to target Japan and the wider Asia region.

    The hybrid approach kicks-off with malvertising ads that impersonate well‑known financial experts, funnel victims through lure sites on RDGA‑generated domains, before finally pulling them into messaging chats run by tireless AI‑style pig butcher bots. The result: an industrial‑scale long con, with individual victims reporting losses of up to ¥10M (~US$63k).

    This model is reused across different campaigns and, by pivoting on DNS, we've so far been able to map out an ecosystem of over 23,000 domains.

    In our latest blog we talk about our first‑hand experience going through the scheme, break down the entire flow, and share all the related IOCs: blogs.infoblox.com/threat-inte

  14. I blocked "pig butchering" accounts. The signs of these accounts include these template messages: "Hi." "How are you doing?" The accounts looked too successful and too pretty.

  15. fascinating history of the rise and fall of one of the world's top scam lords operating out of #Cambodia, Prince Group CEO Chen Zhi from one of the incredibly brave Cambodian reporters on the ground who've been tracking the takeover of the country by Chinese organized crime, funded by crypto scams.

    Zhi was just arrested and extradited (to china) and the US government seized $13 billion worth of his #bitcoin a few months ago (China got the man, US got the bitcoins).

    #PrinceGroup and the massive #pigbutchering cyberscam slave compounds Chen Zhi operated are among the biggest users of #Tether's #stablecoin #USDT on Trump business partner #JustinSun's blockchain #Tron.

  21. We all know somebody who's been affected by an online scam - from romance and investment to more elaborate impersonation schemes. Scams like this are immensely lucrative, and usually run from South East Asia. But recently, pig butchering has expanded from coordinated scamming to an industry of its own.

    Enterprising criminals have built SaaS scam turnkey solutions. Others created online marketplaces dedicated to supporting scams - one stop shops for buying social media accounts, pictures, SIM cards, and ready-made scam sites. Some groups even offer registered corporations with valid business licenses. This ecosystem has supercharged the raging billion-dollar scam epidemic, empowering anyone to become a scammer.

    We call this Pig Butchering as a Service (PbaaS), and reveal in this paper the unique techniques and products offered on the fraud markets

  22. this story about Benjamin Mauerberger, a south african #crypto bro and card carrying member of the chinese #mafia who made so much money via #pigbutchering and other crypto scams that he managed to co-opt a large part of #Thailand's government (to say nothing of #Cambodia and #Myanmar) is nuts.

  34. When your "privacy browser" comes with a built-in surveillance suite, it's probably not about privacy.  Our latest research, in collaboration with UNODC, exposes Vault Viper. You might recognize them as "Baoying Group". They are running one of Asia's largest iGaming networks, BBIN, servicing scam centres and cyber-enabled fraud networks across the region.

    At the center is the Universe Browser, promoted as a "privacy" and "anti-censorship" tool for illegal online gambling. In reality, it's a high-risk surveillance and exploitation platform designed to bypass detections, proxy access, and maintain persistent access across what we estimate to be millions of devices.

    DNS analysis from Infoblox reveals tens of thousands of domains tied to Vault Viper's vast infrastructure, exposing a unique DNS fingerprint and operational control over their own corner of the internet.

    But the story does not end here:  BBIN is linked to dozens of commercial ventures - they even had their own airline !
