"New Gorilla Botnet Launches Over 300,000 DDoS Attacks Across 100 Countries"

Researchers at NSFOCUS discovered a new botnet malware family named "Gorilla," also known as "GorillaBot," which is based on leaked "Mirai" source code. Last month, NSFOCUS reported that the botnet issued over 300,000 attack commands between September 4 and 27, 2024. On average, the botnet issues 20,000 commands every day to launch Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The botnet has attacked universities, government websites, telecommunications, banks, gaming, and gambling sectors in over 100 countries. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the Gorilla botnet.
