Our guest, Johannes Ullrich from SANS Institute,\xa0joins Dave to discuss their research on "Machine Learning Risks: Attacks Against Apache NiFi." Using their honeypot network, researchers were able to collect some interesting data about a threat actor who is currently going after exposed Apache NiFi servers.\nResearchers state\xa0\u201cOn May 19th, our distributed sensor network detected a notable spike in requests for\xa0\u2018/nifi.\u2019\u201d\xa0Investigating further, they instructed a subset of their sensors to forward requests to an actual Apache NiFi instance and within a couple of hours the honeypot was completely compromised.\nThe research can be found here:\nMachine Learning Risks: Attacks Against Apache NiFi\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
