More than 4,000 unique backdoors exploit expired domains and abandoned infrastructure, exposing potential hijacking risks for government and academic hosts.
This practice demonstrates what we call mass-hacking-on-autopilot, where attackers can gain access to many systems without the effort of traditional hacking.
Commandeering abandoned backdoors allows attackers to leverage the work of others, accessing compromised systems with zero effort for just the cost of a domain.
Hacking in this manner offers attackers the ability to acquire valuable data from compromised hosts while reserving their resources and energy.
