Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new botnet that customers can rent access to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against targets of interest. The ShadowV2 botnet, according to Darktrace, predominantly targets misconfigured Docker containers on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud servers to deploy a Go-based malware that turns infected systems into attack nodes and co-opt them into a larger DDoS botnet. The DDoS attack, the largest ever recorded to date, lasted only 40 seconds. Chinese security firm QiAnXin XLab, in a technical report last week, said the botnet known as AISURU is responsible for the attack. The new samples support not only DDoS attacks but also Proxy functionality.
