Aqua's findings indicate that unknown attackers are exploiting weak passwords on Oracle WebLogic servers to deploy Hadooken malware, a complex and emerging cyber threat.
The malware payload initiates with shell and Python scripts that signal Hadooken, raising alarms due to its capabilities like cryptomining and establishing DDoS functionalities.
Aqua's honeypot detection showcased how attackers use low-level credentials access to gain control, prompting concerns over lateral movement to other critical servers.
Despite tracing Hadooken back to certain IPs, the analysis revealed no direct links to ongoing malware campaigns, emphasizing the challenge in cybersecurity attribution.
