Abstract

Since the developer of Mirai malware published its source code online, the Internet of Things (IoT) devices has become highly vulnerable to malware infections.

In fact, research suggests that the number of Mirai infected IoT devices have increased substantially. The malware developer claimed that his malicious code has infected over 380,000 IoT devices but that was before the source code was leaked.
