BotenaGo leak exposes more IoT devices

The authors of the BotenaGo malware that left millions of IoT devices exposed have published its source code on GitHub, making it easily accessible to any malicious hacker or malware developer.

The backdoor vulnerability gives attackers access to 33 exploits capable of forcing entry into various network routers and firewalls. It can be used as a stand-alone exploit kit or as a launching pad for other malware attacks.

Hackers can download and tweak the source code to launch modified IoT incursions or choose to leave the code unchanged to quickly mount criminal campaigns.
