A malware botnet known as 'Ebury' has infected almost 400,000 Linux servers since 2009, with roughly 100,000 still compromised as of late 2023. "While 400,000 is a massive number, it's important to mention that this is the number of compromises over the course of almost 15 years. Not all of those machines were compromised at the same time," explains ESET. "There is a constant churn of new servers being compromised while others are being cleaned up or decommissioned. The data at our disposal doesn't indicate when the attackers lost access to the systems, so it's difficult to know the size of the botnet at any specific point in time."

Theori security researchers Gwangun Jung and Junoh Lee also went home with $130,000 in cash for escaping a VMware Workstation VM to gain code execution as SYSTEM on the host Windows OS using an exploit chain targeting three vulnerabilities: an uninitialized variable bug, a UAF weakness, and a heap-based buffer overflow.
