NadMesh is a new, industrial‑grade Go‑based botnet that weaponizes more than 20 RCE vectors to hijack AI and MCP infrastructure at scale, combining autonomous scanning, exploit delivery, and credential harvesting in a single closed‑loop platform. In early July 2026, researchers identified NadMesh as a high‑volume Go-written botnet that was aggressively deploying bot agents across internet‑facing […]
