   WS-FTP targeted in the wild

   Progress released fixes for eight separate vulnerabilities in   
   WS_FTP on Wednesday, including one rated a maximum score of 10   
   on the CVSS severity scale. Days later, the company said   
   there was no evidence of exploitation at the time... ! O_O   
      
   But...   
      
   Security researchers have spotted what they believe to be   
   a "possible mass exploitation" of vulnerabilities in Progress   
   Software's WS_FTP Server. Researchers at Rapid7 began   
   noticing evidence of exploitation on 30 September across   
   multiple instances of WS_FTP.   
      
      
   I am even surprised people still use WS_FTP instead of lets say SFTP/SCP   
   etc ... :facepalm:   
      
      
   Happy Hacking
