Mass Exploitation of Edge Devices
There has been a significant increase in attacks targeting edge devices on the internet, with the scale of exploitation being much larger than previously recognized. Attackers are not only aiming to gain access to vulnerable networks but also to establish operational relay boxes, which facilitate further intrusions. These trends echo the tactics of the 1990s, where compromised systems served as staging points for larger-scale attacks. The ongoing mass scanning illustrates a persistent and evolving threat landscape, indicating that addressing vulnerabilities in these devices has become increasingly critical.
