CTOnews.com, June 27 (Xinhua)-- Internet zombies are rampant again these days. Recent research on security analysis website Palo Alto Networks shows that hackers have been using a variant of the zombie virus Mirai to launch attacks since March this year, exploiting vulnerabilities in network devices from multiple manufacturers. It is reported that so far, hackers have targeted 22 devices to launch attacks.

It is reported that the variant of zombie virus Mirai mainly targets 22 network equipment vulnerabilities of D-Link, Arris, Zyxel, TP-Link, Tenda, Netgear, MediaTek and other manufacturers. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities to remotely invade these network devices, take them over and use them as "broilers" for DDoS attacks.

CTOnews.com attached vulnerability list:

Among the 22 vulnerabilities affected by ▲, it is reported that the network devices affected by these vulnerabilities include routers, digital video monitors (DVR), network video monitors (NVR), Wi-Fi receivers, access control systems, solar power monitoring systems, and so on. After using the vulnerability to obtain device permissions, hackers can use Shell commands to detect system architecture, download and deploy corresponding botnet viruses.
