What is w8510.com [RESOLVED]
The domain w8510[.]com is associated with a botnet created by the People’s Republic of China (PRC)-linked cyber actors who have compromised thousands of Internet-connected devices, including small office/home office (SOHO) routers, firewalls, network-attached storage (NAS) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices with the goal of creating a network of compromised nodes (a “botnet”) positioned for malicious activity.
The actors may then use the botnet as a proxy to conceal their identities while deploying distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks or compromising targeted U.S. networks.
A variety of subdomains of w8510[.]com were linked to the botnet’s C2 (control) servers. As of September 2024, investigators identified over 80 subdomains associated with w8510[.]com
Further information regarding this domain and the botnet can be found here and here.
