Kubernetes instances found exposed online SEC ARTIC .V2
Over 900,000 Kubernetes instances were found exposed online Over 900,000 misconfigured Kubernetes clusters were found exposed on the internet to potentially malicious scans, some even vulnerable to data-exposing cyberattacks. Kubernetes is a highly versatile open-source container orchestration system for hosting online services and managing containerized workloads via a uniform API interface. It enjoys massive adoption and growth rates thanks to its scalability, flexibility in multi-cloud environments, portability, cost, app development, and system deployment time reductions. Finding exposed Kubernetes Researchers at Cyble have conducted an exercise to locate exposed Kubernetes instances across the internet, using similar scanning tools and search queries to those employed by malicious actors. The results show a massive 900,000 Kubernetes servers, with 65% of them (585,000) being located in the United States, 14% in China, 9% in Germany, while Netherlands an
