Brazilian Anti-DDoS Firm Identified as Hub for Attacks on Local Network Operators
Evidence from an exposed archive links Huge Networks to a massive botnet campaign, though the company claims the activity resulted from a security breach.
- An exposed online archive contained private SSH keys belonging to the CEO of Huge Networks alongside malicious Python-based attack scripts.
- The botnet targeted vulnerable TP-Link Archer AX21 routers and leveraged unmanaged DNS servers to conduct reflection and amplification attacks.
- Huge Networks' CEO claims the malicious activity was likely a competitor's attempt to tarnish the company's image following a security breach.
