MySQL Servers have fallen victim to a DDoS malware

Now, the real devious move – they’re using something called User-Defined Functions (UDF), like a sneaky backdoor to run commands on the server. Crafty, right? These hackers are playing coding wizards, defining functions in fancy languages like C or C++, compiling them into a DLL – creating their own little bundle of mischief. And guess what this mischief does? It downloads the Ddostf malware, turning the device into a pawn in their botnet game.
