SHADOWRAY 2.0: ACTIVE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN HIJACKS RAY AI INFRASTRUCTURE INTO SELF-PROPAGATING BOTNET

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

ShadowRay 2.0 is a malware campaign targeting Ray, a popular open-source AI framework, to hijack powerful computing clusters and convert them into a global, self-propagating botnet. Attackers exploited legitimate orchestration features within Ray, enabling them to orchestrate compute jobs, steal data, launch DDoS attacks, and autonomously spread across organizations. Attackers quickly weaponized unpatched flaws and misconfigurations in Ray clusters that were mistakenly exposed to the internet.
