Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Gambling Goblin installed malicious Apache modules on Brazilian government and education servers. The modules reverse-proxy visitors to fake Google Play, Microsoft Store, and Amazon pages promoting betting sites. Operators deployed DownPro, AlphaAgent, oRAT, 3snake, SSH brute-forcing, and reconnaissance tools. Administrators lack published module hashes, filenames, or paths for direct Apache checks.
