Since the end of 2024, we have been continuously monitoring large-scale DDoS attacks orchestrated by an IoT botnet exploiting vulnerable IoT devices such as wireless routers and IP cameras.
Firmware in cellular routers, secure routers and network security appliances made by Moxa are vulnerable to a pair of high severity bugs.
"It could have been worse," one owner incredibly concluded.
On June 11th, 2024, we discovered a set of vulnerabilities in Kia vehicles that allowed remote control over key functions using only a license plate. These attacks could be executed remotely on any hardware-equipped vehicle in about 30 seconds, regardless of whether it had an active Kia Connect subscription.
Additionally, an attacker could silently obtain personal information, including the victim's name, phone number, email address, and physical address. This would allow the attacker to add themselves as an invisible second user on the victim's vehicle without their knowledge.

I’m a big fan of trains, i like them, but never tough that someday i would take over train traction power substation located in Poland from my home in Costa Rica.
I’m not a train expert/engineer and i had no idea how the train management works , I’m a cyber security professional doing research in the internet about OT Industrial equipment exposed potentially vulnerable or misconfigured.
Everything explained here is just what i learned reading official documentation from the Elester-pkp website . https://elester-pkp.com.pl/
Executive Summary Lumen Technologies’ Black Lotus Labs identified a destructive event, as over 600,000 small office/home office (SOHO) routers were taken offline belonging to a single internet service provider (ISP). The incident took place over a 72-hour period between October 25-27, rendered the infected devices permanently inoperable, and required a hardware-based replacement. Public scan data Lumen Technologies’ Black Lotus Labs identified a destructive event, as over 600,000 small office/home office (SOHO) routers were taken offline belonging to a single internet service provider (ISP).
Infosec is, at it’s heart, all about that data. Obtaining access to it (or disrupting access to it) is in every ransomware gang and APT group’s top-10 to-do-list items, and so it makes sense that our research voyage would, at some point, cross paths with products intended to manage - and safeguard - this precious resource.
Executive Summary: The Black Lotus Labs team at Lumen Technologies is tracking a malware platform we’ve named Cuttlefish, that targets networking equipment, specifically enterprise-grade small office/home office (SOHO) routers. This malware is modular, designed primarily to steal authentication material found in web requests that transit the router from the adjacent local area network (LAN). A
How and why nation-state hackers and cybercriminals coexist in the same router botnet.
The recently disclosed Palo Alto Networks firewall vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-3400, which has been exploited in attacks for at least one month, has been found to impact one of Siemens’ industrial products.
In an advisory published late last week, Siemens revealed that its Ruggedcom APE1808 devices configured with a Palo Alto Networks virtual next-generation firewall (NGFW) could be affected by CVE-2024-3400.
As the creator of the world’s first smart home cybersecurity hub, Bitdefender regularly audits popular IoT hardware for vulnerabilities. This research paper is part of a broader program that aims to shed light on the security of the world’s best-sellers in the IoT space. This report covers vulnerabilities discovered while researching the LG WebOS TV operating system.
Executive Summary The Black Lotus Labs team at Lumen Technologies has identified a multi-year campaign targeting end-of-life (EoL) small home/small office (SOHO) routers and IoT devices, associated with an updated version of “TheMoon” malware. TheMoon, which emerged in 2014, has been operating quietly while growing to over 40,000 bots from 88 countries in January and
Walmart and Temu pulled the affected doorbell cameras from their stores. Amazon and others have taken no action.
Researchers identify 23 vulnerabilities, some of which can exploited with no authentication.
The Lantronix EDS-MS is an "IoT gateway for mission critical medical devices and equipment connectivity". It is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Cado Security Labs has been monitoring on the rapid growth of a cross-platform botnet, named “P2Pinfect”. Here's the latest updates.
Since March 2023, Unit 42 researchers have observed threat actors leveraging several IoT vulnerabilities to spread a variant of the Mirai botnet.
The vulnerability — now fixed — was discovered in a cloud-based system that allows customers to remotely manage their security alarm systems.
We analyze Mirai variant IZ1H9, which targets IoT devices. Our overview includes campaigns observed, botnet configuration and vulnerabilities exploited.
