RondoDox Rampage: Botnet’s 230% Attack Surge Targets 50+ Vulnerabilities in Network Devices
RondoDox, the botnet with a “shotgun” approach, targets over 50 exploits, from routers to cameras, as Trend Micro reports. This network menace uses weak credentials and old CVEs to fuel a 230% attack surge. Its operators deftly dodge detection, making rapid patching imperative for network security.
Hot Take:
RondoDox: Because why settle for a sniper when you can go full shotgun on the internet? This botnet’s got more exploits than a reality TV show, and it’s not afraid to use them. If your network gear isn’t patched, you might as well invite RondoDox over for tea and biscuits.
Key Points:
- RondoDox botnet takes a ‘shotgun’ approach to compromising devices with over 50 exploits.
- Originated from exploiting a TP-Link router vulnerability disclosed at a hacking contest.
- Now targets an extensive list of networking equipment from 30+ vendors.
- Exploits weak credentials and old vulnerabilities for cryptocurrency mining and DDoS attacks.
- Distributes alongside Mirai and Morte payloads, increasing the urgency for detection and remediation.
