Researchers from Russian antivirus vendor Doctor Web have found a Windows Trojan program that was designed to gain access to embedded devices using brute-force methods to install the Mirai malware. Mirai is a malware program for Linux-based internet-of-things devices, such as routers, IP cameras, digital video recorders and others. Researchers from Kaspersky Lab have already found an Android app designed to perform password guessing attacks against routers over the local network. The new Trojan appears to be the first Windows malware specifically designed to hijack embedded or IoT devices.”]
