The botnet, primarily targeting servers hosting publicly-accessible instances of Redis, has seen its tentacles spread across China, the US, Germany, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. The malware, dubbed P2PInfect, has evolved significantly since its discovery in July 2023, showcasing a self-update mechanism and a rapid release of new variants by its developers. The botnet's exponential growth is alarming, with its nodes now spanning across major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) in both East-Asian and American regions. The malware's primary objective remains elusive, although its rapid iteration and geographical spread hint at a larger, possibly more nefarious agenda in the offing. The detailed analysis by Cado also sheds light on the botnet's sophisticated evasion and persistence mechanisms, making it a formidable threat to global cybersecurity.</p><p>Source: <a href="https://www.cadosecurity.com/cado-security-labs-researchers-witness-a-600x-increase-in-p2pinfect-traffic/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cado Security Labs</a></p><p>Tags: <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/P2PInfect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P2PInfect</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Botnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Botnet</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Malware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CadoSecurityLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CadoSecurityLabs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Redis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Redis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CloudSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CloudSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberThreats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberThreats</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InfoSec</span></a></p>
