"Mirai Botnet Targets 22 Flaws in D-Link, Zyxel, Netgear Devices"

A variant of the Mirai botnet is exploiting nearly two dozen vulnerabilities to gain control of D-Link, Arris, Zyxel, TP-Link, Tenda, Netgear, and MediaTek devices for use in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. Researchers from Unit 42 of Palo Alto Networks identified the malware in two campaigns that began on March 14 and spiked in April and June. Researchers warn in a new report that botnet developers continue to add code for exploitable vulnerabilities. The malware targets at least 22 known security flaws in various connected products, including routers, DVRs, NVRs, WiFi communication dongles, thermal monitoring systems, access control systems, and solar power generation monitors. This article continues to discuss the Mirai botnet variant targeting vulnerabilities in D-Link, Arris, Zyxel, TP-Link, Tenda, Netgear, and MediaTek devices.
