SystemBC Turns Compromised VPS into High-Capacity Proxy
🔎 Researchers at Lumen Technology’s Black Lotus Labs say the SystemBC proxy botnet actively targets commercial VPS instances worldwide to build a high-capacity proxy network. The operation averages about 1,500 bots daily, relies on more than 80 C2 servers, and primarily exploits unpatched systems that often contain dozens of vulnerabilities. Customers and operators exhibit poor operational security, and the service is used by ransomware groups and third-party proxy resellers.
