In August, researchers noticed an uptick in attacks targeting the PHP-CGI flaw. BoSSBoTv2 is being used again to propagate a botnet and mine for Bitcoins. The malware is botnet script, and the fact that it’s been coded in C is a unique twist on the common botnet developments, which are often written in Perl or PHP. Once installed, the malware enables the attacker to control the servers directly via remote shell or IRC. The target in this case isn’t home users, but businesses that rent their servers have stronger processing power.”]
