Cisco warned of active password-spraying campaigns targeting remote access VPN services (notably Cisco Secure Firewall/AnyConnect) and published IoCs and mitigation steps; security researchers link the activity to a new botnet dubbed “Brutus” that uses ~20,000 rotating IPs, targets multiple VPN vendors and AD-backed web apps, and may have ties to APT29.
