Hacker Distributes Backdoored IoT Vulnerability Scanning Script to Hack Script Kiddies

Hack tool allows anyone to find vulnerable internet-connected IP Cameras running the vulnerable version of GoAhead embedded web-server. The tool is another example of backdoored hacking tools increasingly being distributed at various underground forums to hack the hacker. In the background, it secretly creates a backdoor user account (username: VM | password: Meme123) on the wannabe hacker’s system, giving the attacker same privilege as root. It also runs another payload on the script kiddie’s system installing a well-known botnet, dubbed Kaiten.
