Researchers Uncover GoBruteforcer Botnet Targeting Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Databases

Researchers from Check Point have identified a new campaign by the GoBruteforcer botnet targeting databases of blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. The attackers aim to compromise Linux servers to integrate them into the botnet, which is then used to launch brute-force attacks against services such as FTP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and phpMyAdmin. No specific date or geolocation of the targets is mentioned. The primary objective is unauthorized access to infrastructures through password-guessing attempts.
