**TeamPCP (aka DeadCatx3/PCPcat/ShellForce) conducted a worm-driven, cloud-native campaign beginning December 2025 that leveraged exposed Docker APIs, Kubernetes clusters, Ray dashboards, Redis servers, vulnerable React/Next.js apps (notably CVE-2025-55182, CVSS 10.0) and misconfigurations to deploy proxy/tunneling infrastructure, scanners, and post-exploitation payloads for widespread propagation, data exfiltration, ransomware/extortion, and cryptomining.**
