PDF Weak passwords used over the Windows Server Message Block (SMB) protocol are often part of attacks that result in the spread of Purple Fox malware, Specops researchers report. Purple Fox, first detected in 2018, is a malware campaign that targets Windows machines. Until recently, its operators used phishing emails and various privilege escalation exploits to target Internet Explorer and Windows devices. However, in late 2020 and early 2021, a new infection vector began to infect Internet-facing Windows devices through SMB password brute force. While Purple Fox s functionality didn t change post-exploitation, its distribution method caught the eye of Guardicore researchers. The team observing Purple Fox describes a hodge-podge of vulnerable and compromised machines hosting the initial payload, infected devices serving as nodes of worm campaigns, and server infrastructure believed to be related to other malware campaigns.
