Cado Security Labs researchers recently encountered a novel malware campaign targeting publicly-accessible deployments of the Redis data store. The malware, named “P2Pinfect” by the developer themselves, is written in Rust and acts as a botnet agent. The sample analysed by Cado researchers includes an embedded Portable Executable (PE) along with an additional ELF executable, suggesting cross-platform compatibility between Windows and Linux.
