Juniper has discovered an active exploitation of a vulnerability that was disclosed just 2 days ago. This vulnerability potentially affects millions of home routers (and other IOT devices using the same vulnerable code base) manufactured by no less than 17 vendors. The attacker seems to be attempting to deploy a Mirai variant on the affected routers using scripts similar in name to the ones mentioned by Palo Alto Networks in March. The similarity could indicate the same threat actor is behind this new attack and attempting to upgrade their infiltration arsenal with yet another freshly disclosed vulnerability.”]
