Threat intelligence firm Infoblox has uncovered a money laundering and human trafficking network operating throughout Southeast Asia via online gambling sites.

Infoblox presenters here at Black Hat said they established a link between a well-known gambling site catering to Asian users and Yabo Sports.

The betting platform shuttered in 2022 following a scandal that saw it sign sponsorship deals with French, Spanish, and other European football teams to establish legitimacy with gamblers. But Infoblox claims the mysterious network that used to run Yabo Sports also runs several other gambling websites that are part of a criminal enterprise targeting Chinese victims.

Infoblox made the connection by looking at domain nameserver information.
