Cybersecurity researchers today took the wraps off a sophisticated, multi-functional peer-to-peer botnet written in Golang that has been actively targeting SSH servers since January 2020. Called "FritzFrog," the modular, multi-threaded and file-less botnet has breached more than 500 servers to date, infecting well-known universities in the US and Europe, and a railway company, according to a report released by Guardicore Labs today.

The coin-mining botnet known as DDG has seen a flurry of activity since the beginning of the year, releasing 16 different updates over the course of the past three months. Proprietary P2P. In its latest version, the DDG botnet still uses IP or DNS for static C2 communications, but its new P2P network acts as "a fall-back [failsafe] that even if the C2 is taken down, the infected devices are still going to keep going and perform the mining tasks," analysts said in a blog on Wednesday.
