show moreBrute-force SSH login attempts against root with 5 password variants: mel!2023, mel2023, mel2023!, mel2023@, mel@2023. 5 sessions used SSH-2.0-Go. After access, the attacker ran basic host recon only: /bin/./uname -s -v -n -r -m, lspci | grep VGA -c, lspci | grep VGA | cut -f5- -d ' ', and uptime -p. No downloads, file drops, persistence, port forwarding, lateral movement, or malware artifacts were observed.
