I have written about how to use IP KVMs securely, and recently, researchers at Eclypsium published yet another report on IP KVM vulnerabilities. But there is another issue I haven't mentioned yet with IP KVMs: rogue IP KVMs. IP KVMs are often used by criminals. For example, North Koreans used KVMs to connect remotely to laptops sent to them by their employers. The laptops were located in the US, and the North Korean workers used IP KVMs to remotely connect to them. IP KVMs could also be used to access office PCs, either to enable undetected „work from home“ or by threat actors who use them to gain remote access after installing the device on site.

The U.S. Justice Department joined authorities in Canada and Germany in dismantling the online infrastructure behind four highly disruptive botnets that compromised more than three million hacked Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as routers and web cameras. The feds say the four botnets — named Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid and Mossad — are responsible for a series of recent record-smashing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks capable of knocking nearly any target offline.

A financially motivated data theft and extortion group is attempting to inject itself into the Iran war, unleashing a worm that spreads through poorly secured cloud services and wipes data on infected systems that use Iran’s time zone or have Farsi set as the default language.
