Some of these servers show similarities with known attacker infra, like hosting *.js files. We observed compromised FortiManager devices use cURL to retrieve such files, e.g. dom.js. Another server had a file named exp-7.2.6.py, which is also a valid FortiManager version.
These are not hard links to FortiJump, but we wanted share this before going into the weekend.
