Am I missing it? There’s seemingly no write up on what the vulnerability actually is, they’re essentially just saying that some poorly managed SSH servers get hacked and then the attackers do stuff.

Edit: oops, reread it. Well, this isn’t really a huge surprise. Just terribly simple root credentials and remote root login enabled.
