UK sentences man for Mirai DDoS attacks against Liberia’s largest telecommunication firm. The small West African country of Liberia became a target for the Mirai botnet in 2016. The attacks cost Lonestar MTN at least $600,000 to mitigate, plus tens of millions more because the disruptions caused customers to move to other providers. The perpetrator of the Liberia attacks, 30-year-old Daniel Kaye, was sentenced in Blackfriars Crown Court to serve a sentence of two years and eight months.”]
