DreamBus is a cryptojacking botnet that targets publicly reachable PostgreSQL servers protected by common or weak credentials. It scans for accessible database instances, authenticates using credential guessing, and abuses PostgreSQL command-execution functionality to run malware on compromised hosts. DreamBus typically deploys cryptocurrency-mining payloads and uses compromised systems to scan for additional vulnerable PostgreSQL servers, supporting further propagation.
