Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
1 distinct threat actor attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
The researchers also discovered a previously undocumented backdoor called ‘BridgeAgent,’ which Fire Ant disguised as a legitimate Zabbix monitoring agent. The backdoor persists as a root-level systemd service and supports TLS reverse shells and the execution of additional payloads on the compromised host.
6 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
BridgeAgent... polled the attacker's infrastructure over TLS on port 443 for commands and reverse-shell instructions.
2 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
A previously undocumented Linux backdoor masquerading as a Zabbix monitoring agent. It persists through a root-level systemd service, provides TLS reverse-shell access, and can execute additional payloads on compromised hosts.
Linux backdoor masquerading as a Zabbix monitoring agent. It persists through a root-level systemd service, disguises its process as gnome-shell, and polls C2 infrastructure over TLS/443 for commands and reverse-shell instructions.
