RondoDox multivector loader-as-a-service campaign
Campaign
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
The RondoDox botnet campaign has expanded into multivector exploitation and loader-as-a-service distribution, widening risk to internet-exposed infrastructure across 30+ vendors and 50+ vulnerabilities. The broadened reach makes exposed routers, DVRs, NVRs, CCTV systems, web servers, and other network devices more likely to be enrolled into the botnet. A detected use of CVE-2023-1389 on TP-Link Archer routers shows the operation is actively abusing public-facing flaws. The added Mirai/Morte payload chain increases detection and remediation pressure.
