BambooToken, a New Malware, Uses MQTT Protocol to Infect Windows and Linux Systems
tugatech.com.pt · 28d ago · September 15th, 2026
BambooToken, a new malware, uses the MQTT protocol to infect Windows and Linux systems, according to Lumen researchers who identified it. The malware leverages MQTT, a lightweight messaging protocol designed for IoT devices, as its command-and-control channel. By abusing legitimate MQTT brokers, the malware avoids direct connections to attacker infrastructure, improving evasion. via Mastodon https://tugatech.com.pt/t91093-bambootoken-novo-malware-usa-protocolo-mqtt-para-infetar-sistemas-windows-e-linux
