A research team has discovered a previously undiscovered botnet that uses unusually advanced measures to covertly target millions of servers around the world. The botnet uses proprietary software to infect servers & corral them into a peer-to-peer network, according to security firm Guardicore Labs.

A newly discovered sophisticated peer-to-peer (P2P) botnet targeting SSH servers is using a proprietary protocol, Guardicore Labs security researchers explain. Dubbed FritzFrog, the botnet has been active since January 2020, compromising targets via a worm written in Golang. Modular in nature, the threat uses fileless infection, to avoid leaving traces on disk.
