Kenneth Currin Schuchman, 22, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison for developing Mirai botnet variants that compromised hundreds of thousands of devices worldwide. The Satori/Okiru, Masuta and Tsunami/Fbot botnets are variants to Mirai, which was used in the 2016 DDoS attacks that targeted DNS provider Dyn and caused several well-known websites including Twitter, Spotify and Netflix to go dark for hours. New Mirai variants continue to pop up, taking down technology such as routers, internet-based companies such as DNS providers and business sectors.
