OTX Bot<p>Threat Actors Exploit Linux SSH Servers with SVF Botnet</p><p>Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new attack campaign in which threat<br>actors are targeting Linux SSH servers with weak credentials to deploy the, SVF<br>botnet a Python based DDoS malware. This botnet uses Discord as its command-<br>and-control (C2) platform allowing attackers to manage infected servers in real<br>time. The SVF botnet is capable of launching Layer 7 (HTTP flood) and Layer 4<br>(UDP flood) DDoS attacks turning compromised servers into powerful tools for<br>disrupting targeted systems.</p><p>Pulse ID: 6880a810b601758421acd5a4<br>Pulse Link: <a href="https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/6880a810b601758421acd5a4" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">otx.alienvault.com/pulse/6880a</span><span class="invisible">810b601758421acd5a4</span></a> <br>Pulse Author: cryptocti<br>Created: 2025-07-23 09:14:56</p><p>Be advised, this data is unverified and should be considered preliminary.
