Discovery of Panamorfi, a new DDoS campaign leveraging Discord infrastructure to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks. This campaign demonstrates how threat actors are increasingly exploiting legitimate platforms and services for malicious purposes.
Panamorfi uses Discord's infrastructure to coordinate and amplify DDoS attacks, making it difficult for defenders to detect and mitigate these attacks using traditional methods.
Attack Methodology
- Leveraging Discord servers for command and control
- Amplification through Discord's infrastructure
- Difficult to detect using traditional network monitoring
- Requires specialized detection and mitigation techniques
