Trend Micro has discovered a new Internet of Things botnet that leaves more than 120,000 Internet Protocol (IP) cameras vulnerable to attack. The botnet, dubbed Persirai, was discovered targeting more than 1,000 different models of IP cameras. The malware erases itself once the target machine has been infected, and will only run in memory. Users are advised to stay updated on the latest security patches and strengthen passwords so they are tougher to brute-force attack on their devices.”]
