Earth Berberoka, also known as GamblingPuppet, is a China-linked intrusion set associated with attacks against online gambling environments and Linux systems. The group has been publicly connected to the use of the Xnote Linux backdoor in operations targeting online gambling sites, and has also been associated with the use of HelloBot in Linux-focused activity. Reporting further indicates malware-development or tooling overlap with other Chinese threat clusters, including shared loader characteristics between Earth Berberoka’s CoinLess malware and tooling used by other China-nexus actors. Earth Berberoka appears to operate within the broader Chinese state-sponsored or China-nexus ecosystem, with observed links through shared malware components and operational overlap rather than a fully documented standalone corpus of campaigns. Known tooling associated with the group includes Xnote, HelloBot, and CoinLess. The available evidence supports Linux intrusion capability, post-compromise remote access, and data collection functions typical of long-term access operations. Public reporting also places the group in the context of malware sharing or collaboration among Chinese APT clusters, including overlap with actors such as APT41 and others. High-confidence public detail on the group’s full victimology, organizational structure, and complete targeting breadth remains limited.
