When Thai police raided a holiday hotel in Pattaya on Monday night, they hit the jackpot.
Not only found an illicit gambling operation, but they also discovered the entire top floor had been taken over by a Chinese ransomware ring.
Increasingly ransomware and other cybercrime operations are merging with more "traditional" forms of organised criminality - such as gambling rings, money laundering, and drug smuggling.
The hotel is currently not taking bookings on Booking․com. 🤣
