MikroTik Router als DDoS Quellen: Zahlen für Österreich
OVH beschreibt ausführlich in einem Blogbeitrag, dass sie es in letzter Zeit öfters mit DDoS-Angriffen zu tun hatten, die sie auf kompromittierte MikroTik Router zurückführen. Es geht hier um ernsthafte Bandbreiten und Packets/Sekunde: kein Wunder, wenn es die Angreifer geschafft haben, gute angebundene Router für ihre Zwecke einzuspannen. [..] Ich habe das als Anlass genommen, mal in unserer Datenbasis (basierend auf Scans von Shadowserver) nachzuschauen, wie es um diese Geräte in Österreich bestellt ist: MikroTik Router, die per SNMP ihre Modellnummern verraten.

Attack Cases Against HTTP File Server (HFS) (CVE-2024-23692)
HTTP File Server (HFS) is a program that provides a simple type of web service. [..] Recently, the remote code execution vulnerability CVE-2024-23692 in the HFS program that provides web services was announced. Attack cases against vulnerable versions of HFS continue to be detected ever since.

The Not-So-Secret Network Access Broker x999xx

But among certain old-school Russian hackers it is not uncommon to find major players who have done little to prevent people from figuring out who they are in real life.
