Earth Berberoka, also known as GamblingPuppet, is a Chinese-speaking cybercrime cluster documented since 2022 for attacks against online gambling platforms serving Chinese-speaking users. The group has been associated with Linux-focused tooling, including the Xnote backdoor and CoinLess-related components. Gambling Goblin, a Chinese-speaking cluster conducting gambling-focused SEO fraud and phishing operations against Brazilian organizations, has been assessed with medium-to-high confidence as connected to Earth Berberoka based on overlapping tooling, operator artifacts, infrastructure, Chinese-language artifacts, gambling focus, and lookalike-domain tradecraft. That related activity compromises Linux web servers and deploys malicious Apache modules to selectively proxy trusted-domain traffic to fraudulent gambling and sports-betting content, while associated tooling supports reconnaissance, SSH credential testing, credential harvesting, remote command execution, tunneling, file transfer, persistence, and defense evasion.
