The image was uploaded two months ago and has been downloaded 325 times to date.<\/p>\n<p>The container image is designed to run an embedded Python script that&#8217;s heavily obfuscated and requires 63 iterations to unpack the actual code, which sets up a connection to teneo[.]pro.<\/p>\n<p>![](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The malware script simply connects to the WebSocket and sends keep-alive pings in order to gain more points from Teneo and does not do any actual scraping,&#8221; Darktrace said in a report shared with The Hacker News. &#8220;Based on the website, most of the rewards are gated behind the number of heartbeats performed, which is likely why this works.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The campaign is reminiscent of another malicious threat activity cluster that&#8217;s known to infect misconfigured Docker instances with the 9Hits Viewer software in order to generate traffic to certain sites in exchange for obtaining credits.<\/p>\n<p>The intrusion set is also similar to other bandwidth-sharing schemes like proxyjacking that involve downloading a specific software to share unused internet resources for some sort of financial incentive.<\/p>\n<p>![Cybersecurity](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Typically, traditional cryptojacking attacks rely on using XMRig to directly mine cryptocurrency, however as XMRig is highly detected, attackers are shifting to alternative methods of generating crypto,&#8221; Darktrace said. &#8220;Whether this is more profitable remains to be seen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The disclosure comes as Fortinet FortiGuard Labs revealed a new botnet dubbed RustoBot that&#8217;s propagating through security flaws in TOTOLINK (CVE-2022-26210 and CVE-2022-26187) and DrayTek (CVE-2024-12987) devices with an aim to conduct DDoS attacks. The exploitation efforts have been found to primarily target the technology sector in Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IoT and network devices are often poorly defended endpoints, making them attractive targets for attackers to exploit and deliver malicious programs,&#8221; security researcher Vincent Li said. &#8220;Strengthening endpoint monitoring and authentication can significantly reduce the risk of exploitation and help mitigate malware campaigns.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Found this article interesting?
