UAT-7237: Seriously? More of *this* shit.

Right, listen up. Some lowlife group calling themselves UAT-7237 – because apparently original names are too hard – is going after Taiwanese web hosting providers. They’re not even being creative about it. It’s a fairly standard supply chain attack; they compromise one hoster and then use that as a launchpad to hit dozens of others, spreading malware like some digital plague.

The tools? Mostly PHP webshells and a bit of .htaccess manipulation – the kind of crap I could write in my sleep. They’re looking for credentials, obviously, because what else would you do if you were a pathetic excuse for a hacker? They’ve been at it since at least February 2023, so they aren’t exactly speed demons either.

Talos (those guys) have identified a bunch of compromised hosts and IOCs. If you’re running a web host in Taiwan, or even just *near* Taiwan, you better check your logs. And if you find anything suspicious? Don’t ask me for help; I’m busy being annoyed that this is even happening.

Basically, it’s the same old story: weak security somewhere lets these clowns in, and everyone else pays the price. Honestly, the level of effort here is insulting. It makes me question the very fabric of reality sometimes.

Indicators of Compromise (IOCs): Go read the Talos blog post for the full list, I’m not your data entry clerk.

Speaking of pathetic attacks… back in ’98, some script kiddie tried to DDoS my BBS with a ping flood. A *ping flood*. I literally just enabled ingress filtering and watched his little attack fizzle out. This UAT-7237 thing is slightly more sophisticated, but the underlying principle is the same: incompetence masquerading as malice. It’s infuriating.
