"IoT malware clashes in a botnet territory battle"

Mirai, the notorious IoT malware, faces new competition as a new malware emerges by the name of “Hajime”. Security researchers have discovered this new malware to be much more resilient than Mirai in that it forms botnets by communicating over a BitTorrent protocol dependent peer-to-peer network. This form of communication introduces a more decentralized botnet, making it more difficult to terminate. This article further discusses the details of this new IoT malware, how it compares to Mirai, as well as why there is much difficulty in tackle these attacks completely.
