Mandiant's Dan Kelly has published a Twitter post about how one member of a Chinese APT hacked dozens of MMORPG gaming companies.
Kelly says the individual appears to have been running a secret game cheating service that used his access to the gaming company's database to increase in-game currency for users—some of which were Twitch and YouTube streamers.
