This PR removes gorilla from the list of threat actors. The reference article mentions Gorilla as a botnet instead of a threat actor. There is Gorilla Services mentioned in the article, but it is difficult to definitely conclude that it is the name of a threat actor instead of just a telegram channel.

GorillaBot is more the variant of Mirai which is the botnet. We would need indeed to add it in the Botnet galaxy.

The TA is named after the channel where they actually share the activity. Just like Noname057(16) which is the group behind DDoSIA.

Thanks @adulau for the PR review. I agree based on the evidence you provided (naming threat actor based on Telegram channel), Gorilla as the name of the TA makes sense. Will close this PR for now. Thanks!
