New CloudSEK findings show Androxgh0st botnet evolving. Academic institutions, including UC San Diego, hit. Discover how this sophisticated…

Cybersecurity researchers have detailed two novel methods that can be used to disrupt cryptocurrency mining botnets. The methods take advantage of the design of various common mining topologies in order to shut down the mining process, Akamai said in a new report published today. "We developed two techniques by leveraging the mining topologies and pool policies that enable us to reduce a

Zyxel users beware: A critical remote code execution flaw (CVE-2023-28771) in Zyxel devices is under active exploitation by a Mirai-like botnet. GreyNoise observed a surge on June 16, targeting devices globally.

A vulnerability in the popular Python-based tool for building AI agents and workflows is under active exploitation, allowing for full system compromise, DDoS attacks, and potential loss or theft of sensitive data

Cybersecurity researchers have called attention to a new campaign that's actively exploiting a recently disclosed critical security flaw in Langflow to deliver the Flodrix botnet malware. "Attackers use the vulnerability to execute downloader scripts on compromised Langflow servers, which in turn fetch and install the Flodrix malware," Trend Micro researchers Aliakbar Zahravi, Ahmed Mohamed

The two campaigns are good examples of the ever-shrinking time-to-exploit timelines that botnet operators have adopted for newly published CVEs.

Akamai's latest report reveals two Mirai botnets exploiting the critical CVE-2025-24016 flaw in Wazuh. Learn about these fast-spreading IoT threats and urgent patching advice.

A now-patched critical security flaw in the Wazur Server is being exploited by threat actors to drop two different Mirai botnet variants and use them to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Akamai, which first discovered the exploitation efforts in late March 2025, said the malicious campaign targets CVE-2025-24016 (CVSS score: 9.9), an unsafe deserialization vulnerability that

Though the operation was partially disrupted earlier this year, the botnet remains active and continues to target connected Android devices.
