Cyberattack forces UT San Antonio to delay start of fall semester

UT San Antonio delayed fall semester start by three days after a weekend cyberattack was caught at the network edge before core systems.

The University of Texas at San Antonio, which serves more than 42,000 students, moved its fall semester start from August 19 to August 24 after a weekend cyberattack on its academic network. Officials said the intrusion attempt was caught at the edge of the network before reaching core systems and that no evidence of data theft has been found. The university took systems and services offline for review, causing phone system outages and password reset tool delays. The incident follows the Instructure Canvas breach during spring finals week that exposed data tied to millions of students and staff worldwide.

Home & Small Office Wireless Routers Exploited to Attack Gaming Servers

Unit 42 details an updated Gafgyt botnet variant exploiting Zyxel, Huawei, and Realtek router vulnerabilities to recruit devices for DoS attacks on gaming servers.

Unit 42 researchers identified an updated Gafgyt variant derived from the JenX botnet that combines three remote code execution exploits: CVE-2017-18368 (Zyxel P660HN-T1A), CVE-2017-17215 (Huawei HG532), and CVE-2014-8361 (Realtek RTL81XX chipset). Shodan scans show more than 32,000 wireless routers worldwide potentially vulnerable to these exploits. The exploits act as droppers, pulling architecture-specific binaries from a malicious server (185.172.110.224), and the botnet performs denial-of-service attacks against gaming servers, most notably Valve Source engine servers.
