New botnet malware exploits two zero-days to infect NVRs and routers

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

A new Mirai-based malware botnet named ‘InfectedSlurs’ has been exploiting two zero-day remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities to infect routers and video recorder (NVR) devices.

The malware hijacks the devices to make them part of its DDoS (distributed denial of service) swarm, presumably rented for profit.

The discovery of ‘InfectedSlurs’ comes from Akamai, who first spotted it on its honeypots in late October 2023. However, the botnet’s initial activity dates back to late 2022.
