Cisco is warning about a global surge in brute-force attacks targeting various devices, including Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, web application authentication interfaces, and SSH services, since at least March 18, 2024.“These attacks all appear to be originating from TOR exit nodes and a range of other anonymizing tunnels and proxies,” Cisco Talos said.Successful attacks could pave the way for unauthorized network access, account lockouts, or denial-of-service conditions, the cybersecurity company added.
