It has been observed in the wild since June 2022. FortiGuard Labs reported on its previous campaigns in August 2022 and December 2022. Those campaigns focused on brute-forcing devices with weak or default SSH or Telnet credentials to expand the botnet’s footprint for launching Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
