Docker malware breaks in through exposed APIs, then changes the locks
The variant has creative twists: Setting the variant apart is its move to deny others access to the same Docker API, effectively monopolizing the attack surface. It tries to modify firewall settings (iptables, nft, firewall-cmd, etc.) via a cron job to drop or reject incoming connections to port 2375. A cron job is a scheduled…
