Mirai Source Code Released

The IoT Botnet Mirai’s source code has been published online by its author along with configuration and set-up details. Naturally, web security analysts are expecting a series of online attacks from malicious threat actors. The reason behind their concerns is that this code can easily convert any hackable, that is, unsecured or unprotected devices like the routers, web cameras and phone, etc., into DDoS Bots. These bots can then be used to attack websites and to take them offline.
