Intelligence Summary
An attacker conducting real-time Microsoft 365 phishing left a Python web server exposed to the public internet. Directory listing was enabled on the server listening on TCP port 8080. The operator’s command (python3 -m http.server 8080) remained accessible in a saved .bash_history file. French firm Lexfo recovered the phishing toolkit and traced additional Evilginx operations. The exposure increases the likelihood of defender detection and enables better mitigation against credential interception campaigns.
Recommended Action
Review affected assets, schedule urgent remediation, and monitor related indicators.
