Qrator Labs has shared details on Aeternum C2, a recently discovered botnet loader that relies on the Polygon blockchain for command-and-control (C&C), thus improving its resilience against takedowns.

The threat actor claimed that commands were delivered to bots encrypted, via multiple RPC (remote procedure call) networks, and validated before execution, completely removing the need for central infrastructure.
