Infection description

On Sep 15, we detected a malicious campaign. It was evident that the attackers we discovered were using phishing techniques to trick users into downloading a malicious binary file. They used a fake message on websites stating that a user has been blocked by Cloudflare. Meanwhile, infected websites getting the message would not necessarily even use Cloudflare services.

We’re pleased to announce a new version of Imunify360. Version 6.6 is now available. The following features are new in the v6.6 release:

Infection description

Starting on Jun 29, we detected a malicious campaign that uses Crontab in a chained infection flow. A closer look reveals a common pattern attackers use in order to inject a backdoor to a vulnerable host.

It starts from logging in with previously stolen credentials to the cPanel service. After that, the attacker makes an attempt to upload a backdoor directly to the public directory. And the final step is to set up a CronJob task, containing obfuscated malware, scheduled to trigger every at regular intervals.

But wait… There’s more… 

We’re pleased to announce a new version of Imunify360. Version 6.5 is now available. The following features are new in the v6.5 release:
