"IZ1H9 - Attackers Find New Ways to Zombify Your Router: D-Link, TP-Link Devices Affected"
Fortinet researchers have found a large-scale attack campaign targeting routers, turning thousands into bots for Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The new variant of Mirai, a relatively old malware that targets networked Linux devices and converts them into remotely controlled bots, contained thirteen payloads. Each new payload targets D-Link devices, Netis wireless routers, Sunhillo SureLine software, Geutebruck IP cameras, Yealink Device Management, Zyxel devices, TP-Link Archer, Korenix Jetwave, and Totolink routers. The Mirai variant IZ1H9 turns routers and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices into remote-controlled bots for large-scale network attacks. This article continues to discuss the IZ1H9 Mirai variant.
