Security intelligence firm Flashpoint reports that the botnet is composed, at least in part, of internet of things devices infected by Mirai malware (see IoT Botnets: There Will Be Pwnage).

The problem is compounded by the burgeoning number of internet-connected devices that continue to be built, for which security seems to be an afterthought. Indeed, security experts say that numerous internet-connected devices - ranging from routers and smart TVs to refrigerators and security cameras - will often be connected to the internet by consumers and then forgotten about, unless they somehow fail. Furthermore, many manufacturers fail to get security updates into consumers' hands, or release any patches at all, often preferring instead to simply ship a newer type of product.

Bad news: A hacker has released source code for malware that can be used to automatically find and hack internet of things devices that use default accounts and passwords, then use them to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks. Numerous Linux-based routers, security cameras and digital recorders, among other devices, are at risk and have been compromised in this manner to unleash record-breaking attacks (see Hacked IoT Devices Unleash Record DDoS Mayhem).
