Ask HN: What did you find out or explore today? 6 months ago
Found out that our (small company's) VPS was compromised by a mining script, attacker probably exploited NextJS' RCE that I forgot to patch. The scripts were using half of the threads at 100%, i deleted all of them, found the watchdogs that kept recreating them and updated NextJS, luckily there was nothing to steal, now everything seems alright, but I'm thinking that I should format/rebuild everything just in case that I missed something.
I'm a junior dev with very little experience, I would appreciate any suggestion/advice
