Log4j Attacks Continue Unabated Against VMware Horizon Servers

VMware Horizon servers continue to be a target for attackers exploiting the Apache Log4j vulnerability, with several instances of threat actors attempting to install backdoors for maintaining persistent access to compromised systems. Security vendor, Sophos, notes that many of these attackers are likely initial access brokers looking to sell access to compromised networks for a fee, potentially opening the door for ransomware attacks. VMware has urged organisations to upgrade to the fixed version of its server to prevent potential abuse.
