Hi Everyone,
I was reading https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/08/new-p2p-botnet-infects-ssh-servers-all-over-the-world/ and https://www.guardicore.com/2020/08/fritzfrog-p2p-botnet-infects-ssh-servers/. The articles are a bit light on details with respect to infection mechanism.
Is there an active vulnerability associated with FritzFrog? Or does the malware rely on accounts with weak/wounded/disclosed passwords and non-protected private keys?
(I'm running OpenSSH 8.3p1, but I'm wondering about a possible new release soon).
