Marai was just the beginning of the large scale attacks on IoT devices. Has anyone heard the news about "Reaper" or know the differences and similarities between the two attack vectors used?
Both are ways to attack IoT devices and to create botnets. It seems more and more IoT botnets are to be created, as IoT seem to be the "weakest link" in security nowadays.
The 'S' in IoT stands for Security.
