Mirai Botnet’s Shopping Spree: Scouring for Weak Passwords and Zero-Day Vulnerabilities
With the new zero-day vulnerabilities, the Mirai botnet expansion threat is real and how! This botnet is on a shopping spree for weak passwords like ‘password1’. Kudos to Akamai SIRT for their responsible disclosure. If your credentials are an open secret, it’s time to change…
Hot Take:
Well, it seems the Mirai botnet has decided to go shopping for new recruits, and they're eyeing up endpoints with weak credentials. They're like the bad kids at school, always looking for the easy targets to join their gang. And they've found a couple of new zero-day vulnerabilities to help them do just that. So, if your password is "password" or "password1," you might want to rethink your life choices. Also, a shout-out to Akamai SIRT for being the responsible adults in the room and not revealing too much about these vulnerabilities. They don't want to give the bad kids any more ideas, after all.Already a member? Log in here
