A SANS intern analyzed trends in coordinated SSH brute force attacks during a recent three-month observation period. The analysis examined behavioral patterns, attack vectors, and frequency of distributed credential-stuffing campaigns targeting SSH services. This research contributes to understanding how threat actors are coordinating and evolving their attack methodologies.

Why it matters in Western Canada: SSH brute force attacks remain a common entry point for lateral movement and infrastructure compromise across Canadian organizations. Understanding attack coordination patterns helps institutions in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba better defend critical systems and remote access infrastructure.
