Mirai has really taken on new twists. In a little bit of a dated article, its the beginning of an investigation in to this updated malware that takes advantage of a 2020 flaw. In a more recent post, more details about how this thing works now.
The first article is Mirai Botnet Exploit Weaponized to Attack IoT Devices via CVE-2020-5902 which seems in hinesite pretty bad. The second, New Mirai Variant Expands Arsenal, Exploits CVE-2020-10173 which I think is the older one.
No matter how you read it, both articles are quite interesting, and you should catch yourself up if this interests you. Its only going to get worse. I’m not looking forward in this.
