New Threat Alert: Rustobot Botnet
A new Rust-based botnet is making waves — and it's hijacking routers to do it. @FortiGuardLabs latest research dives into Rustobot, a stealthy, modular botnet that’s fast, evasive, and ready to wreak havoc.
Learn how it works, what makes it different, and how to protect your network:

@FAIR Oh yes. They started blocking pro-Palestine and anti-Russia messaging on Ukraine for me a long time ago.
This is of course systematic abuse of reporting tools by automated means or by troll farms in the case of Kremlin.
Facebook refuses to hire enough people to counter the problem, which is just getting exponentially worse by cheap LLM’s able to do the job which you formerly needed a Russian spy for.

I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of botnet has been hammering our web servers over the past week. Requests come in from tens of thousands of addresses, just once or twice each (and not getting blocked by fail2ban), with different browser strings (Chrome versions ranging from 24.0.1292.0 - 108.0.5163.147) and ridiculous cobbled-together paths like /about-us/1-2-3-to-the-zoo/the-tiny-seed/10-little-rubber-ducks/1-2-3-to-the-zoo/the-tiny-seed/the-nonsense-show/slowly-slowly-slowly-said-the-sloth/the-boastful-fisherman/the-boastful-fisherman/brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/the-boastful-fisherman/brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/pancakes-pancakes/pancakes-pancakes/the-tiny-seed/pancakes-pancakes/pancakes-pancakes/slowly-slowly-slowly-said-the-sloth/the-tiny-seed
(I just put together a bunch of Eric Carle titles as an example. The actual paths are pasted together from valid paths on our server but in invalid order, with as many as 32 subdirectories.)
Has anyone else been seeing this and do you have an idea what's behind it?

Wow, talk about not understanding the assignment.
Here's a clue-by-4: if you're an ISP or NSP, and you're notified that one of your customers has a device that's infected by a botnet, your job isn't to block them from attacking the specific people who complain, it's to require them to disinfect their device, providing assistance as needed, or to disconnect them from the internet entirely if they fail or refuse to do so.

Thousands of #TPLink routers have been infected by a #botnet to spread #malware
According to Cato CTRL team, #Ballista botnet exploits a remote code execution vulnerability that directly impacts TP-Link Archer AX-21 router. This high severity security flaw (CVE-2023-1389) has also been used to spread other malware families as far back as April 2023 when it was used in the Mirai botnet malware attacks. The flaw also linked to the Condi and AndroxGh0st malware attacks.
