Heimdal™ Security’s SOC department together with other cybersecurity institutions have released an all-out advisory to its customer base, clients, users, and partners in regards to the activity of an emergent botnet that has infected thousands of websites. The botnet StealthWorker (GoBrut) has achieved an impressive number of hits in a brief span of time, by brute-forcing the victim’s Internet-facing NAS devices and web servers. As for the ‘zombified’ devices, Heimdal™ believes that they will be used in future botnet campaigns for the purpose of compromising even more hosts.
SECURITY ALERT: Active Golang-Written Botnet StealthWorker Infects Thousands of Websites via Distributed Brute-Force Attacks.
