Nettitude discover a critical vulnerability that compromises the security of user devices.

Nettitude announced we have identified a vulnerability affecting the Electronic Arts Origin Windows client. This discovery is a major find for Nettitude as we strive to continually enhance and maintain the security of our clients and the digital world we live in.

“EA Origin is used by millions of gamers around the world” says Chris Oakley, VP of Technical Services for the Americas at Nettitude. “This vulnerability allows threat actors to deploy malware to e.g. compromise banking and payment data, deploy ransomware, and more.”

Nettitude have found that Electronic Arts Origin Windows client has a vulnerability in the way it handles one of its software libraries. It also runs with excessive service permissions.

This combination of flaws allows an attacker to exploit a machine running the Origin Windows client by moving locally from a low privilege user to a user with the highest privileges. Subsequently, an attacker could easily deploy malware locally and even move laterally to other machines in the network for wider compromise.

A full technical analysis for this vulnerability can be found here. That article explains how we identified and exploited the vulnerability. It also provides guidance to developers on avoiding the same class of vulnerability. The vulnerability was discovered by Tom Wilson (@uint_ptr).

Electronic Arts were receptive to our report and, following communications with us, have recently produced an effective patch. As of the latest version, this local privilege escalation vulnerability in Electronic Arts Origin Windows client has been fixed. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2020-27708.

This summer, WinSpirit celebrates its birthday with Alchemy of Passion, a large-scale promotional campaign designed to create deeper player engagement through gamification, storytelling, and immersive rewards.

Built around the concept of discovering the legendary Elixir of Passion, the campaign transforms traditional promotional mechanics into an interactive journey. Players are invited to collect ingredients, complete quests, unlock rewards, and explore new experiences — turning every spin and action into part of a larger adventure.

Throughout the campaign, players can access multiple engagement features, including the Gift Portal, Gift Shop, Mystery Elixirs, quests, tournaments, and exclusive bonuses created specifically for the celebration.

From a product perspective, Alchemy of Passion highlights WinSpirit’s approach to developing creative promotional solutions that help operators increase player interaction, strengthen loyalty, and deliver memorable brand experiences. By combining narrative-driven mechanics with rewarding gameplay elements, the campaign provides partners with a flexible engagement tool designed to support retention and long-term player relationships.

The campaign also reflects WinSpirit’s continued investment in innovation, exploring new ways to connect entertainment, technology, and player-focused experiences within the iGaming ecosystem.

This birthday celebration is WinSpirit’s way of thanking the community that continues to shape the brand. Instead of simply marking another milestone, the company is creating new opportunities for players to interact, discover rewards, and celebrate together.

While Alchemy of Passion is already live, another major experience is being prepared behind the scenes. Soon, players and partners will get their first look at Euphoria Lab — a brand-new concept designed to bring an entirely new level of engagement.

The celebration has begun. The formula continues to evolve, and the next chapter is about to unfold.

SpringbokCasino.co.za has launched a July promotion offering players 25 free spins on SpinLogic slot title Seahorse Surge, using coupon code MINIONS. The operator said the offer is valid throughout July on its South Africa-facing site.

The campaign is positioned around a “Minions in the Wild – Nature’s Greatest Helpers” theme, timed to coincide with the release window of a new Minions film. SpringbokCasino’s creative frames the promotion through five animal “archetypes” — meerkats, hyenas, dassies, warthogs and elephants — as analogies for different styles of play.

“Every ecosystem needs its helpers, and every winning session needs the right mix of patience, timing, and a little bit of glorious chaos,” said Daniel Van Wyke, Casino Manager at SpringbokCasino. “This July, we celebrate South Africa’s wildest ‘Minions’—and give our players 25 free spins to cause some fun trouble of their own.”

SpringbokCasino described Seahorse Surge as featuring “cascading wins and rising multipliers.”

The press release also links to a video version of the story hosted at https://lyceum.video/casinonews/260701/260701.mp4.
