ZIP File Frenzy: Why Your Web Server’s Backup Files Are Under Siege
In a twist worthy of a tech comedy, our web honeypot logs are now flooded with ZIP file requests. These URLs aren’t linked to specific vulnerabilities but seem like backup file treasure hunts! To avoid the ZIP file frenzy, ensure your server isn’t hosting random backups and keep a vigilant eye on rogue zip files.
