In April 2020, he exploited a 'zero-day vulnerability' to infiltrate 81,000 firewall devices, including 23,000 systems protecting critical infrastructure in the United States.

The FBI was forced to offer a $10 million reward, a staggering number second only to Osama bin Laden: 🧵 Guan Tianfeng is an ordinary cybersecurity researcher and a core member of Sichuan Silent Information Technology Co., Ltd.

He focuses on discovering undisclosed vulnerabilities and using these vulnerabilities for malicious attacks.

His code name is 'GbigMao'. The key to this cyber attack lies in a vulnerability present in the firewall products of the UK company Sophos Ltd.

Guan Tianfeng discovered this vulnerability and quickly weaponized it to implant malware.

This malware is designed to steal data, including usernames and passwords, and in some cases deploy ransomware. In April 2020, Guan Tianfeng and his team launched a large-scale attack.

Worldwide, 81,000 firewall devices were attacked, of which 23,000 were located in the United States.

Even more shocking, 36 of these devices were used to protect critical infrastructure in the United States, such as energy, power grids, and communications. The consequences of this attack could be catastrophic.

For example, an American company was attacked while drilling for oil, nearly causing the oil rig to lose control.

If the vulnerability is not patched in time, this attack could result in loss of life and severe infrastructure damage. Nevertheless, Guan Tianfeng did not stop his actions.

He continued to exploit other undisclosed vulnerabilities to carry out new attacks while using obfuscation techniques to cover his tracks.

These attacks earned him the title of 'the world's most wanted hacker'.
