Surge in Scans for Juniper “t128” Default User, (Wed, Apr 2nd)

Last week, I noticed a surge in scans for the username “t128”. This username, accompanied by the password “128tRoutes,” is a well-known default account for Juniper&#;x26;#;39;s Session Smart Networking Platform (or “SSR” for “Session Smart Routing”). The username and password are a bit “odd”. Juniper acquired a company called “128 Technologies” a few years ago, and with this acquisition, integrated SSR into its product portfolio. But much of the product, including default usernames and passwords, remained unchanged. The documentation, including the default username and passwords, is still at 128technology.com [1].

Apache Camel Exploit Attempt by Vulnerability Scan (CVE-2025-27636, CVE-2025-29891), (Mon, Mar 31st)

About three weeks ago, Apache patched two vulnerabilities in Apache Camel. The two vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-27636 and CVE-2025-29891) may lead to remote code execution, but not in the default configuration. The vulnerability is caused by Apache Camel using case-sensitive filters to restrict which headers may be used. However HTTP headers are not case-sensitive, and an attacker may trivially bypass the filter.

A Tale of Two Phishing Sites, (Fri, Mar 28th)

In phishing and in malspam, as in any other field, one can see certain trends develop over time. For obvious reasons, most threat actors like to use techniques and approaches that are novel and, thus, more effective. This commonly leads to adoption of the same techniques and technologies by multiple threat actors at the same time, which applies even to the use of the same phishing kits. Still, the same kit may end up looking completely different in the hands of different actors, as the following example shows.
