Australia Gets Into Amadey Malware Backend, Cuts Off Access to 180,000 Infected Computers
The Australian Signals Directorate gained access to the backend infrastructure of the Amadey malware operation and severed the connection between the command and control server and approximately 180,000 infected computers worldwide. This action prevents the malware operators from accessing or exfiltrating data from the compromised systems.
Why it matters: Organizations with systems in Australia and globally should verify whether their endpoints were among the 180,000 infected machines and take immediate steps to remediate any Amadey infections and reset potentially compromised credentials.
