PCPJack Hijacked 230 AWS, GCP, and Azure Servers to Run a Hidden SMTP Relay Network

概要

PCPJack operators compromised 230 cloud Linux servers across AWS, GCP, and Azure to build a covert SMTP relay network for email-based attacks. Researchers discovered exposed directories on infrastructure at 213.136.80[.]73 containing complete deployment toolkits including Chisel binaries, Python deployers, and operational state files. The campaign deployed Sliver C2 beacons and established reverse SOCKS5 tunnels on compromised hosts, testing each for SMTP relay capability. Three deployment versions showed operational evolution from 50 to 230 nodes, with verified proxies synchronized every five minutes to a downstream aggregation server. The operation targeted cloud-hosted web applications, exploiting them to gain initial access, then establishing persistence through systemd services and cron jobs disguised as system utilities. Victims included small to medium businesses across multiple regions running containerized and traditional workloads.
