Z0Miner struck last year when Tencent Security tracked the malware exploiting two WebLogic pre-auth RCE bugs tracked as CVE-2020-14882 and CVE-2020-14883. At the time, the team of security analysts estimated the miner compromised around 5,000 servers by sending carefully constructed data packets to the vulnerable systems. The malware also moved laterally via SSH.
Before that, Oracle had already issued a security bulletin warning of vulnerabilities in WebLogic components. At the time, research from cyber security company Rapid7 said the flaw was “trivial to exploit.”
Researchers said the malware has since changed to look for and infect systems by exploiting remote command execution vulnerabilities in Elasticsearch and Jenkins.
Chinese state newspaper
People’s Daily has renewed calls for internet platforms to join forces with relevant government departments to clean up fake online traffic, a challenge that tech companies have long struggled with.
An opinion piece published on Wednesday accused “water armies” – Internet accounts bought to generate traffic – of disrupting fair competition and eroding social trust in cyberspace.
“Platforms that are flooded by fake traffic are full of low-quality content while high-quality content is submerged,” the article said.
It said online platforms must work hand in hand with authorities, who should mete out timely punishment according to the law. While Internet platforms still hold the main responsibility in the fight against fake traffic, according to the article, courts are recommended to issue guiding cases, judicial interpretations and law amendments to help.
