Internet-exposed Apache ActiveMQ servers are also targeted in TellYouThePass ransomware attacks targeting a critical remote code execution vulnerability previously exploited as a zero-day.
One week after Apache patched this critical ActiveMQ vulnerability, Huntress Labs and Rapid7 both reported spotting attackers exploiting the bug to deploy HelloKitty ransomware payloads on customers' networks.
Arctic Wolf Labs revealed in a report published one day later that threat actors actively exploiting the CVE-2023-46604 flaw also use it for initial access in attacks targeting Linux systems and pushing TellYouThePass ransomware.
