A cybercriminal organisation has been attacking online gaming companies since 2009, according to a new report published by Kaspersky Lab. Winnti is still currently active and has been focused on stealing digital certificates as well as intellectual property and the source codes of online game projects. Kaspersky Lab's experts began analysing Winnti's campaign and found that more than 30 companies in the online gaming industry had been infected by the Winnti group, with the majority being software development companies producing online video games in South East Asia.
