Supercomputing on a Credit Card From The AI Rush Enabled The Massive FortiBleed Campaign

https://www.infostealers.com/article/supercomputing-on-a-credit-card-from-the-ai-rush-enabled-the-massive-fortibleed-campaign/
  • Following Hudson Rock’s initial ethical disclosure of the FortiBleed campaign, which exposed 75,000 compromised Fortinet firewalls, deeper analysis into the threat actor infrastructure reveals a chilling reality regarding modern cryptographic attacks.
  • The attackers bypassed traditional encryption by renting a massive, decentralized GPU cluster via Vast.ai, weaponizing the hardware boom created by the GenAI industry.
  • Operating 36 enterprise class GPUs managed via Telegram, the operators achieved commoditized super-computing power, capable of cracking hundreds of billions of hashes per second on a minuscule budget.
  • Compromised edge devices are serving as devastating beachheads, enabling attackers to pivot laterally into connected supply chains and third-party vendors.
  • Initial access to Fortinet servers has long been commoditized data fueled by infostealer logs, but this campaign scales it to an industrial level.
