New research from Infoblox reveals a disturbing coordination between WordPress hackers and the VexTrio Traffic Distribution System (TDS). An analysis of 4.5 million DNS TXT records over several months identified connections between seemingly independent hacker groups. When a TDS was disrupted, malware operators swiftly switched to alternative systems, indicating a networked approach among cybercriminals. The study highlights how adtech companies and malware producers intertwine, with shared infrastructures and targets. The findings underscore ongoing security threats to WordPress sites and emphasize the sophisticated tactics employed by organized cybercrime.
The findings reveal a coordinated effort among WordPress hackers and VexTrio's Traffic Distribution System, indicating a complex network of cybercriminal collaboration.
