🎥🦠 FBI warns of HiatusRAT malware targeting vulnerable web cameras and DVRs. The FBI has issued a warning about new HiatusRAT malware attacks that are scanning and infecting exposed web cameras and DVRs, particularly those from Chinese brands lacking security updates. The attacks, which began in March 2024, focus on devices with known vulnerabilities and weak passwords, using tools like Ingram and Medusa for scanning and brute-force attacks. The FBI advises network defenders to limit the use of these devices and isolate them from networks to prevent breaches. This campaign follows previous attacks on Defense Department servers and a significant infection of VPN routers across the Americas and Europe, indicating a strategic alignment with Chinese interests.
