FortiGuard Labs observed increased activity from two botnets, the Mirai variant “FICORA” and the Kaiten variant “CAPSAICIN”. FortiGuard Labs researchers observed a surge in activity associated with two botnets, the Mirai variant “FICORA” and the Kaiten variant “CAPSAICIN,” in late 2024. Both botnets target vulnerabilities in D-Link devices, particularly through the HNAP interface, allowing remote […]

The Moobot botnet is behind a new wave of attacks that started in early August and that target vulnerable D-Link routers. Palo Alto Network’s Unit 42 researchers reported a new wave of attacks launched by the Moobot botnet that target vulnerable D-Link routers. The Mirai-based Moobot botnet was first documented by Palo Alto Unit 42 researchers in February […]

Attackers are leveraging known vulnerabilities in D-Link devices to deliver MooBot, a Mirai variant, potentially leading to further DDoS attacks.

The operators of the EnemyBot botnet added exploits for recently disclosed flaws in VMware, F5 BIG-IP, and Android systems. Operators behind the EnemyBot botnet are expanding the list of potential targets adding exploits for recently disclosed critical vulnerabilities in from VMware, F5 BIG-IP, and Android. The botnet was first discovered by Fortinet in March, the […]

Enemybot is a DDoS botnet that targeted several routers and web servers by exploiting known vulnerabilities. Researchers from Fortinet discovered a new DDoS botnet, tracked as Enemybot, that has targeted several routers and web servers by exploiting known vulnerabilities. The botnet targets multiple architectures, including arm, bsd, x64, and x86. The researchers attribute the botnet […]

The U.S. CISA added to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog another 9 security flaws actively exploited in the wild. US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added nine new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, including two recently patched zero-day issues affecting Adobe Commerce/Magento Open Source and Google Chrome. CISA orders all Federal Civilian Executive […]

The U.S. CISA has added to the catalog of vulnerabilities another 15 security vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild. The US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added fifteen more flaws to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. The ‘Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog‘ is a list of known vulnerabilities that threat actors have abused in attacks […]

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added 15 more vulnerabilities to its catalog of flaws that are actively exploited in the wild by hackers. Some are older dating back to 2014, but two are from the past two years and are in Windows components. “These types of vulnerabilities are a frequent attack […]

Top Attacks and Breaches Check Point Research notes a 178% increase in the number of malicious shopping websites, compared to the rest of the year, spotting over 5300 different malicious websites per week ahead of the […]

A newly discovered Golang-based malware is using over 30 exploits in attacks, potentially putting millions of routers and Internet of Things (IoT) at risk of malware infection, according to a warning from AT&T Alien Labs.

Researchers at AT&T discovered a new BotenaGo botnet that is using thirty three exploits to target millions of routers and IoT devices. BotenaGo is a new botnet discovered by researchers at AT&T that leverages thirty three exploits to target millions of routers and IoT devices. Below is the list of exploits used by the bot: Vulnerability Affected devices […]

Network attack trends in the Winter quarter of 2020 revealed some interesting trends, such as increased attacker preference for newly released vulnerabilities and a large uptick in attacks deemed Critical. In addition to details of the newly observed exploits, in this blog, we also dive deep into the exploitation analysis, vendor analysis, attack origin, and attack category distribution.

Mozi, a relatively new botnet, has fueled a significant increase in Internet of Things (IoT) botnet activity, IBM reported this week.

Attackers looking to add IoT devices to their botnets are increasingly adding vulnerability exploitation to their attack arsenal, Netscout researchers warn. Instead on just relying on a list of common or default passwords or brute-forcing attacks, they are taking advantage of the fact that IoT devices are rarely updated and manufacturers take a lot of time to push out fixes for known flaws. Currently under exploitation In November 2018, the company detected many exploitation attempts … More →
