Malwarebytes Uncovers Fraudulent Network FriendlyDealer
Home » Telegram posts »
Cybersecurity company Malwarebyteshas uncovered the fraudulent network FriendlyDealer, which uses at least 1,500 domains with fake Google Play and App Store pages to redirect users to unregulated online casino sites. The network consists of at least 20 fake applications under various names, including Tower Rush (189 listings), Chicken Road (97), Beast Games: Ice Fishing (43), mimicking the brand of YouTube blogger MrBeast, as well as applications under the brands of the fintech service Revolut and the slot Gates of Olympus from Pragmatic Play.
According to Malwarebytes, the network does not steal passwords or distribute malware. The organizers earn commissions for registrations and deposits, which reportedly range from $50 to $400 for each depositing player. A single template allows new applications to be created in minutes by changing one configuration file. The source code contains comments in Russian and integration with Yandex Metrica; however, Malwarebytes notes that these artifacts may have been inherited from acquired or reused code.
