Cybersecurity researchers said that the Iranian group of hackers attacked the VMware servers in the latest Log4j security exploit.
According to a comprehensive report by Sentinel Labs on Thursday, Feb. 17, the hackers became more popular when they hit Java-based logging utility Log4j.
Since then, they managed to gain access to thousands of apps by relying on remote code execution. During its peak time, it has become one of the most dreaded exploits that occurred on the internet. Experts believed that it would continue to haunt the users in the next few years.
Currently, the controversial group named TunnelVision focused on infecting VMware Horizon. Windows, Linux, and macOS users can run this virtualization product on desktops.
According to Yair Rigevsky and Amitai Ben Shushan Ehrlich from Sentinel One, the Iranian cybercriminals have been active in compromising VMware by deploying backdoors and collecting sensitive information from the victims.
On top of that, they also inject PowerShell commands, as well as create backdoor users. The security flaw started with the Log4j exploit wherein they gain commands through the PS reverse shells thanks to the Tomcat process.
Usually, VMware makes use of Apache Tomcat for the deployment of web applications in Java. From this server, the TunnelVision hackers were able to remotely control the networks.
