Attackers are targeting MySQL servers and Docker hosts to plant malware capable of launching DDoS attacks, according to a warning from researchers at the AhnLab Security Emergency Response Center.
According to AhnLab, attacks targeting MySQL on Windows have increased in frequency with vulnerable MySQL servers infected with 'Ddostf', a DDoS-capable botnet of Chinese origin that has been around since at least 2016.
Separately, Cado Security is warning in a new report that Docker hosts are being targeted with the OracleIV DDoS-capable malware, via the Docker Engine API, an HTTP API served by Docker Engine.
