This advanced threat has been declared as the Reaper botnet and performs other attacks look childish. Mira worked by affecting unsecured devices with default passwords to add them to the botnet. The Reaper runs by actively hacking and infiltrating millions of devices throughout the globe. News described it as “the contrast between checking for open doors and actively picking locks.” The Reaper malware includes some of the Mirai source code but has considerably expanded its risk and potential. Rather than choosing common passwords, Reaper uses known vulnerabilities to inject its code into the victim. This provides it to grow at a much faster rate.
