Four years after being used in one of the most powerful distributed denial-of-service attacks on record, the so-called Mirai malware continues to haunt the internet. Researchers on Monday evening revealed that attackers used a new variant of the malicious software in a string of ongoing hacking attempts against devices like routers and switches. The attackers are using no less than eight flaws in popular networking gear to try to remotely commandeer the devices, according to Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42, the research outfit that made the discovery. After breaking into a device, the attackers try to download malicious code to deploy Mirai variants, Unit 42 said. The concern is that they could use that access to steal data from the device, or conscript it into a botnet, a horde of infected computers used for spamming or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which stifle connectivity by flooding a network with phony traffic.
