@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.

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.

TP-Link Router #Botnet - schneier.com/blog/archives/202

Schneier on Security · TP-Link Router Botnet - Schneier on SecurityThere is a new botnet that is infecting TP-Link routers: The botnet can lead to command injection which then makes remote code execution (RCE) possible so that the malware can spread itself across the internet automatically. This high severity security flaw (tracked as 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. […] Of the thousands of infected devices, the majority of them are concentrated in Brazil, Poland, the United Kingdom, Bulgaria and Turkey; with the botnet targeting manufacturing, medical/healthcare, services and technology organizations in the United States, Australia, China and Mexico...

Oh really it was Ukraine that took down X on March 10? Not so fast.

Independent security researchers found evidence that some X origin servers were not properly secured behind DDoS protection, and researchers noted they did not even see Ukraine in the breakdown of the top 20 IP address origins involved in the attacks. wired.com/story/x-ddos-attack- #X #Musk #DDoS #cyberattack #cybersecurity #security #Ukraine #BotNet #Internet

Should we release PoCs publicly - after they have been fixed? or should we not?

While releasing a PoC is positive for research and awareness, there's no denying it increases the vulnerability's exploitation in the wild.

- CVE-2024-41710 fixed on July 17, 2024
- Two weeks later: PoC published on Github
- Jan 2025: Aquabot v3 noticed "using a payload almost identical to the PoC"

Most of the mastodon.social #botnet we recently confirmed is still intact.
mastodon.social/@madeindex/113

Only the accounts we all reported were banned, while the others are still active.

The #reports specifically mentioned that they are part of a larger botnet, to no effect.

#Mastodon #software seems to be great at automatically detecting obvious botnets, like the first example while struggling with #AI generated, higher-quality profiles.
