"Novel Mirai-Based DDoS Botnet Exploits 0-Days to Infect Routers and Security Cameras"

Threat actors are building a Mirai-based Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) botnet called InfectedSlurs by exploiting previously unknown vulnerabilities in certain routers and Network Video Recorder (NVR) devices. If the device manufacturers' default admin credentials have not been changed, the zero-day Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities can be exploited. Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) researchers said they discovered the botnet through their global honeypots. It was found targeting NVR devices from a specific manufacturer. This article continues to discuss the InfectedSlurs DDoS botnet.
