Cybersecurity researchers have warned of a "resurgence and expansion" of JDY, a covert network associated with China-nexus state-sponsored threat actors. "The JDY botnet comprises over 1,500 SOHO [small office and home office] and IoT devices and operates as a centrally controlled, high-performance scanner used to discover, fingerprint, and continuously map exposed services at scale," Lumen's […] Thank you for subscribing to our RSS feed!
