In early January 2019, Unit 42 discovered a new variant of the infamous IoT/Linux botnet Mirai.
Mirai is best known for being used in massive, unprecedented DDoS attacks in 2016. Some of the most notable targets included: web hosting provider OVH, DNS provider Dyn and Brian Krebs’ website.
This new variant that Unit 42 discovered is notable for targeting different embedded devices like routers, network storage devices, NVRs, and IP cameras and using numerous exploits against them.
