The assault consisted of a "month-long" barrage of more than 100 hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks flood. [..] Many of the attacks aimed at the target’s network infrastructure (network and transport layers L3/4) exceeded two billion packets per second (pps) and three terabits per second (Tbps). [..] The threat actor behind the campaign leveraged multiple types of compromised devices, which included a large number of Asus home routers, Mikrotik systems, DVRs, and web servers. --------------------------------------------- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cloudflare-blocks-largest-re… ∗∗∗ Over 4,000 Adobe Commerce, Magento shops hacked in CosmicSting attacks ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- Approximately 5% of all Adobe Commerce and Magento online stores, or 4,275 in absolute numbers, have been hacked in "CosmicSting" attacks. [..] The CosmicSting vulnerability (CVE-2024-34102) is a critical severity information disclosure flaw; when chained with CVE-2024-2961, a security issue in glibc's iconv function, an attacker can achieve remote code execution on the target server. [..] Sansec says that multiple threat actors are now conducting attacks as patching speed is not matching the critical nature of the situation. --------------------------------------------- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/over-4-000-adobe-commerce-ma… ∗∗∗ Survey of CUPS exploit attempts, (Fri, Oct 4th) ∗∗∗ --------------------------------------------- It is about a week since the release of the four CUPS remote code execution vulnerabilities.
