Matrix Unleashes A New Widespread DDoS Campaign
Nov. 27, 2024, 6:32 p.m.
Description
A new widespread Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) campaign orchestrated by a threat actor named Matrix has been uncovered. The operation combines public scripts, brute-force attacks, and exploitation of weak credentials to create a botnet capable of global disruption. Matrix targets vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across internet-connected devices, particularly IoT and enterprise systems. The campaign demonstrates how accessible tools and minimal technical knowledge can enable large-scale cyberattacks. Despite showing Russian affiliation, the absence of Ukrainian targets suggests a focus on financial gain rather than political motives. The threat actor is actively targeting both development and production servers, marking an evolution in DDoS activities.
