Inside BRUTED: Black Basta (RaaS) Used Automated Brute Forcing Framework to Target Edge Network Devices

Black Basta, a ransomware-as-a-service group, has been using an automated brute forcing framework called BRUTED to target edge network devices since 2023. The framework performs internet scanning and credential stuffing against firewalls and VPN solutions in corporate networks. Black Basta prioritizes high-impact industries, particularly the Business Services sector, to amplify operational disruptions. The group's internal communications were leaked, exposing their infrastructure and operational details. BRUTED targets various remote-access and VPN solutions, using proxy rotation, credential generation, and distributed execution to scale attacks. Black Basta exploits vulnerabilities in edge devices for initial access, then targets ESXi hypervisors to encrypt file systems and disrupt virtual machines, maximizing operational impact and ransom leverage.

It pains me, but I've caved to technical pressures and made Edge the default browser on my work PC.

Firefox has long been my default, but it gets confused about which account to use with which tab, and I often end up fighting to point it to the right account.

Nobody else in my IT department reports this problem. It's almost like Microsoft wants links in Teams to fail with 3rd party browsers. 🤔

Also, Teams sucks. Why do attachments have to be links and not actual files? #Edge
