To: I-Network Uganda <i-network@dgroups.org>

From Uganda Computer Emergency Response Team CERT (UCC) …….

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

The CERT maintains a research honeypot which is run to gather information about the motives and tactics of  hacker  communities targeting different networks. The primary objective of the honeypot is to provide cyber security situational intelligence and also to research the threats that operators face and to learn how to better protect against those threats.

From the gathered information we note that at one any time we are under attack either directly or indirectly.

 

Over the last 24 hours we see persistent  attacks from the following sources (countries). This information confirms the fact that cyber-attacks are real happenings and are a global problem.

 

	Country	Count
1	China	1,728
2	Brazil	785
3	Ukraine	734
4	United States	727
5	Russia	674
6	France	655
7	Czechia	635
8	Argentina	468
9	Iraq	378
10	Mexico	295

 

We note the attacks are geared towards the following ports, with traffic mismatch. For example we note SIP traffic being routed to port 80, yet SIP traffic uses port 5060 and 5061 for communications.

 

dest_port	count
22	4262
23	1481
80	1325
5060	1201
5358	145
3389	122
2323	77
8080	72
8545	65
443	57

 

 

Similarly, we note the following usernames /passwords  are the most commonly used for attempted account hijacking;

	Top Usernames	Top Passwords
1	Admin	support
2	Support	admin
3	User	password
4	Administrator	1234
5	Default	Default

 

We strongly encourage you to avoid using the above usernames or passwords as they are the most commonly used for account hijacking. Most computing devices use the above usernames by default, it is recommended you change the usernames to those that are not easily guessed or used.

Regards
