Snoopin’ on Secrets: When Hackers Channel Their Inner Sommelier! 🍷🔍
Cyber attackers have a new recipe: searching for secrets files on exposed web servers like a sommelier hunting for the perfect vintage. They even used a Romanian distillery’s network for this “fine selection” of scans. Cheers to them, but remember to secure your .env files and protect those precious credentials!
Hot Take:
Looks like cybercriminals have swapped their black hats for detective caps, rummaging through online filing cabinets for hidden treasures like they’re in a digital episode of “Storage Wars”! Next thing you know, they’ll be auctioning off SMTP keys on some dark web version of eBay.
Key Points:
- Cyber attackers are targeting various credential files on exposed web servers.
- Recent scans focus on files like smtp_keys.json and smtp_tokens.json.
- Requests originated from a Romanian IP, likely a compromised system.
- Attackers are persistently changing their file targets over time.
- Such activities have been ongoing since February, with creativity in file-naming variations.
