In a shocking turn of events, cryptocurrency projects have rolled out the red carpet for GoBruteforcer, the botnet equivalent of inviting a bull to a china shop and expecting to sell fine porcelain afterward. Exploiting weak credentials, this latest malware sensation is treating blockchain databases like a buffet, stacking its plate high with whatever it can grab before the management notices anything missing.

Analysts blame the attack’s success on AI-generated server deployment examples, which apparently serve as the perfect blueprint for disaster. Like that time someone asked ChatGPT for cooking advice and ended up with a dinner explosion, these examples are propagating common security missteps faster than a tech bro can say ‘decentralize.’

The botnet, whose hobbies include impersonating scary hackers and overthrowing FTP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and phpMyAdmin on Linux servers, might just redefine the term ‘crypto crash.’ In a world where blockchain promised transparency and invincibility, it turns out that writing ‘password’ as your actual password is still an Achilles’ heel. Who would have thought?
