Security researchers have spotted a new variant of the Mirai IoT malware in the wild targeting two new classes of devices –smart signage TVs and wireless presentation systems.
This new strain is being used by a new IoT botnet that security researchers from Palo Alto Networks have spotted earlier this year.
The botnet’s author(s) appears to have invested quite a lot of their time in upgrading older versions of the Mirai malware with new exploits.
