The Silex and the Fury: New Malware Tries to Destroy IoT Devices
Summary
The 14-year-old hacker, who developed Silex under this pseudonym (according to most sources alone) and who has made his first appearance through the creatorship of the botnet "HITO", is quite happy with his achievement and announced that he wants to continue working on the malware until it has the functionality of Brickerbot*. In fury and confusion, the IoT users of this world have already launched initiatives on the Internet to find this boy a girlfriend. For the normal user, it looks like a hardware defect (which makes it difficult to determine the total number of affected devices). Light Leafon has indicated that he intends to add further features, such as attack options via SSH and the use of exploits instead of default access data. This would negate the currently effective protection measures, such as closing the Telnet port and changing the manufacturers default credentials.
