Recent investigations revealed that a group of Chinese-speaking hackers took advantage of vulnerabilities in ESXi software prior to their public disclosure. These zero-day exploits posed significant risks, affecting a large number of users and organizations worldwide.
The attacks reportedly began several months before the vulnerabilities were officially announced, highlighting the proactive strategies employed by cybercriminals to exploit system weaknesses. Security experts are now urging companies to enhance their defenses against such intrusions.
As the situation develops, affected organizations are advised to patch their systems promptly and remain vigilant against potential follow-up attacks that may arise from these exploits.
