Ebury botnet compromises 400,000+ Linux servers
2024-05-16 04:30

In many cases, Ebury operators could gain full access to large servers of ISPs and well-known hosting providers. "We have documented cases where the infrastructure of hosting providers was compromised by Ebury. In these cases, we have seen Ebury being deployed on servers rented out by those providers, with no warning to the lessees. This resulted in cases where the Ebury actors were able to compromise thousands of servers at once," says Marc-Etienne M. Léveillé, the ESET researcher who investigated Ebury for more than a decade.

Ebury botnet malware infected 400,000 Linux servers since 2009
2024-05-14 16:31

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."
