Hackers target rival hackers' compromised systems
TechCrunch·
A new cybersecurity campaign, dubbed 'PCPJack,' has been discovered targeting systems already compromised by the prolific cybercrime group TeamPCP. The unknown attackers infiltrate these systems, remove TeamPCP's tools, and deploy their own malicious code. This code spreads like a worm across cloud infrastructure to steal credentials and exfiltrate data. The primary motive appears to be financial, with the attackers reselling stolen credentials or access to compromised systems. This sophisticated attack highlights the evolving and complex nature of cyber warfare, where even malicious actors are becoming targets.
