The Hide and Seek IoT botnet has been increasing its infection capabilities with new vectors. The latest samples look for Android devices with the wireless debugging feature enabled. Botnet’s purpose for the moment appears to be to increase its size and nothing more. Most of the botnet’s victims are in Taiwan, Korea, and China, Bitdefender says. The infection vectors include telnet scanning and brute-forcing, exploiting a vulnerability in AVTECH IP Camera, NVR and DVR; exploiting a flaw in Wansview NCS601W camera.
