Thousands of Data Center Controllers Open to Takeover

Internet-exposed remote hardware management processors used in data centers are vulnerable to offline password-cracking attacks, a vulnerability that attackers have already begun exploiting.

Why it matters: Data center operators and infrastructure teams need to immediately audit and restrict network access to their hardware management interfaces, as attackers can extract and crack credentials offline to gain full control of critical systems.
