The Mirai botnet is a type of malware that infects Internet-connected devices and turns them into bots. These bots are then used to launch DDoS attacks, causing a massive amount of traffic to be sent to a targeted server or network, ultimately bringing it down.
The new version of Mirai targets business IoT devices by exploiting vulnerabilities in their software or firmware. Once the devices are infected, they can be used as part of a botnet to carry out coordinated attacks.
Businesses with IoT devices are at risk of cyber attacks, data breaches, and financial loss. If hackers gain access to these devices, they can disrupt operations, steal sensitive information, or use them to launch malicious activities.
Businesses can protect their IoT devices from Mirai attacks by regularly updating firmware and software, changing default passwords, using strong encryption, implementing network segregation, and monitoring device activity for any unusual behavior.
Some common signs that an IoT device has been compromised by Mirai malware include slow performance, increased network traffic, unfamiliar processes running in the background, unexpected shutdowns, and unauthorized access to device settings.
Business owners can educate their employees on IoT security best practices by providing training on how to recognize phishing attempts, the importance of strong passwords, the risks of connecting personal devices to company networks, and the procedures for reporting suspicious activity.
