A sophisticated botnet known as MyloBot has compromised thousands of systems, with most of them located in India, the U.S., Indonesia, and Iran.
That’s according to new findings from BitSight, which said it’s “currently seeing more than 50,000 unique infected systems every day,” down from a high of 250,000 unique hosts in 2020.
Furthermore, an analysis of MyloBot’s infrastructure has found connections to a residential proxy service called BHProxies, indicating that the compromised machines are being used by the latter.
MyloBot, which emerged on the threat landscape in 2017, was first documented by Deep Instinct in 2018, calling out its anti-analysis techniques and its ability to function as a downloader.
