Spammers, threat actors who send irrelevant or unsolicited messages over the internet to large numbers of users to spread malware, strike again! This time, they are exploiting affiliate programs to advertise online casinos such as Ducky Luck, Raging Bull Casino, Sports and Casino, using deceptive emails.
To transfer users, the affiliates will design specially crafted URLs that include an affiliates ID or release a cookie that enables the casino to give them credit every time a referral signs up for a new account.
According to Bleeping Computer, an online spam operation organized by affiliates of online casinos is flooding users with bogus emails announcing they won the ‘Grand Prize,’ that a large cash payout is ready, or that the recipient needs to confirm their account.
