Mirai Botnet New Variant Takes Aim at x86 Linux Servers. A new variant of the Mirai botnet now takes aim at Linux servers in enterprise networks. This is the first time that a Mirai variant is targeting plain old servers and not IoT devices. Arbor Networks team has noticed a rise in exploit attempts targeting Linux servers running Hadoop YARN, which is a resource manager thats used in big data platforms in enterprises. The attack method is also different; this Mirai version doesnt depend on compromised servers to spread to other vulnerable devices.”]
