Over 4,000 Backdoors Hijacked by Registering Expired Domains

Over 4,000 backdoors hijacked via expired domains; researchers at WatchTowr Labs sinkholed communication from compromised systems, preventing further malicious use. They identified numerous infected systems, including government and educational institutions in multiple countries. Control of the hijacked domains was transferred to The Shadowserver Foundation for ongoing monitoring.
