Androxgh0st Botnet Integrates Mozi, Expands Attacks on IoT Vulnerabilities

CloudSEK reports that the Androxgh0st botnet has integrated with the Mozi botnet and exploits a wide range of vulnerabilities in web applications and IoT devices. Learn about the specific vulnerabilities being targeted, the techniques used by the attackers, and how to protect your systems from this evolving threat.

Cybersecurity researchers at Contextual AI company, CloudSEK’s AI digital risk platform XVigil have uncovered a new development in the Androxgh0st botnet. This malicious network, initially targeting web servers since January 2024, has re-emerged after undergoing transformation.

Reportedly, the botnet now shares components from the infamous Mozi botnet, historically known for infecting internet-of-things (IoT) devices. The analysis of Androxgh0st‘s C&C logs revealed an operational change as the botnet now appears to be deploying Mozi-linked payloads.
