    Date: 01/20/2025

    Severity: Medium

    Summary

    Since the end of 2024, a large-scale IoT botnet, primarily using malware variants from Mirai and Bashlite, has been launching DDoS attacks targeting companies globally, with a significant focus on Japan. The botnet infects devices like wireless routers and IP cameras by exploiting vulnerabilities and weak credentials. It is controlled through command-and-control servers and employs various DDoS attack methods, malware updates, and proxy services. Attack patterns differ between domestic and international targets, with a notable impact on sectors across North America and Europe.
