An operation from the China-based cybercrime gang known as DoubleGun Group has been disrupted. The operation had amassed hundreds of thousands of bots that were controlled via public cloud services, including Alibaba and Baidu Tieba.

The latest campaign spread malware via pirate gaming portals, they added.
