Silent Push has revealed its analysts have identified more than 10,000 unique infected IP addresses as part of the SystemBC botnet malware family, which is used in ransomware attacks and as a SOCKS5 proxy network.
Silent Push’s analysis shows SystemBC infections are globally distributed at scale, with the highest concentration of infected IP addresses observed in the US, followed by Germany, France, Singapore, and India.
Silent Push identified SystemBC infections within sensitive infrastructure, including compromised IP addresses hosting government websites in Burkina Faso and Vietnam.
The research uncovers a previously undocumented SystemBC variant written in Perl, indicating continued development activity and ongoing evolution of the malware family.
