IoT Botnet Linked to Large-scale DDoS Attacks Since the End of 2024
Since the end of 2024, we have been continuously monitoring large-scale DDoS attacks orchestrated by an IoT botnet exploiting vulnerable IoT devices such as wireless routers and IP cameras.
By taking proactive steps to secure IoT devices, individuals and organizations can help prevent the spread of botnets and protect against potential cyberthreats linked with these types of attacks. We discovered an Internet-of-Things(IoT) botnet and have been continuously observing large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack commands sent from its command-and-control (C&C) server targeting Japan, as well as other countries around the world, since the end of 2024. Although we cannot confirm the exact relationship with the attack commands at this time, some of the organizations that were targeted reported temporary connection and network disruptions of web services during the same period.
