New Variant of Mirai Targets 13 Known IoT Device Vulnerabilities
Researchers at Unit42 laid bare a Mirai botnet variant dubbed V3G4 that compromised hosts by abusing several vulnerabilities in products from DrayTek, Geutebruck, FreePBX, Atlassian, and others. The botnet infected exposed servers and networking devices running on Linux OS. Successful exploitation of the bugs could let hackers take full control of the hosts and make them a part of the botnet.
