**Executive summary:** AhnLab ASEC documents an active campaign that scans for Linux SSH (port 22), uses dictionary/brute-force attacks to harvest credentials, and installs port scanners, SSH brute-force tools and potentially DDoS bots or XMRig coinminers; the report details the attack flow, toolset (e.g., go, gob, prg, ps), IOCs (attacker IPs, URL http://58.216.207.82/scan.tar, MD5s), historical linkage to tools from the PRG old Team, and mitigation guidance (strong passwords, patching, firewalls, AV updates).
