IoT malware behind record DDoS attack is now available to all hackers

The source code for a trojan program that infected hundreds of thousands of internet-of-things devices has been published online. The code for the trojan, which its creator calls Mirai, was released Friday on an English-language hackers’ forum. Cybersecurity blogger Brian Krebs’ website was the target of a record DDoS attack two weeks ago that was launched from the Mirai botnet. The trojan’s creator, who uses the online handle Anna-senpai, said that the decision to release the source code was taken because there’s a lot of attention now on IoT-powered DDoS attacks.”]
