Attackers exploit AhsayCBS backup flaws to deploy disguised crypto miners

Attackers are exploiting two newly disclosed vulnerabilities in AhsayCBS, the management console for Ahsay’s cloud backup software, to take over servers and quietly run cryptocurrency miners, according to researchers at Huntress. AhsayCBS (Cloud Backup Server) is mainly used by managed service providers (MSPs) and system integrators to create users and manage backup policies for their clients. As of 8 October, Huntress had seen five organisations targeted via the flaws.
