Protect Client-Side Code and Certify the Authenticity of Data Collection
The code may be difficult to read and decipher, but one can often infer its purpose by examining the output and the data collected and sent.

Cryptominers’ Anatomy: Shutting Down Mining Botnets
By executing “bad shares,” we were able to ban the mining proxy from the network — shutting down the mining operation. Welcome to the final installment of our Cryptominers’ Anatomy blog series: In our first post, we discussed cryptocurrencies' fundamentals, their various attributes, and what makes some of them more attractive than others to threat actors. In the second part, we analyzed various cryptomining samples that we found abusing different mining topologies.
Two Botnets, One Flaw: Mirai Spreads Through Wazuh Vulnerability
The Akamai Security Intelligence and Response Team (SIRT) has identified active exploitation of the critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability CVE-2025-24016 against Wazuh servers (CVSS 9.9). The vulnerability takes advantage of decentralized API (DAPI) requests, allowing an attacker to remotely execute code by uploading an unsanitized dictionary. We observed two campaigns of Mirai variants exploiting this vulnerability.
