Cisco Talos reported a China-linked threat cluster tracked as UAT-9244 has targeted telecommunications infrastructure in South America since 2024, using multiple implants across Windows, Linux, and edge devices. The toolset described includes TernDoor (Windows), PeerTime (Linux), and BruteEntry (edge devices used for mass scanning and brute forcing services like SSH, Postgres, and Tomcat). The report describes tradecraft and malware but does not identify a single named victim organization or a bounded primary-effect incident suitable for a discrete event record.
