From this The Intercept piece[0]:
"In Nordic mythology, the name Regin is associated with a violent dwarf who is corrupted by greed. It is unclear how the Regin malware first got its name, but the name appeared for the first time on the VirusTotal website on March 9th 2011."
Double meaning or coincidence? e.g. did the authors of this piece just google "Regin" and find out about this dwarf?
