Juniper Warns of Mirai Botnet Attacks on Session Smart Routers
#JuniperNetworks has issued a security alert about a Mirai-based #botnet targeting Session Smart routers with default credentials. The malware scans for vulnerable devices, executes remote commands, and enables #DDoS attacks.
Key indicators of compromise include brute-force login attempts, spikes in outbound traffic, erratic device behavior, and scans on common ports. Juniper urges users to replace default passwords, update firmware, monitor logs, and deploy firewalls. Infected devices must be reimaged to ensure complete removal of the threat.
Admins are advised to adopt strong security practices to prevent further attacks.

🕵️ The FBI took down a hacker service that literally lived in your home
Since 2020, SocksEscort quietly sold access to ~369,000 IP addresses worldwide. However, these were not their servers. They were other people's home routers—hacked, infected, and rented out to cybercriminals. Your router could have been part of the scheme, and you wouldn't have known about it 😬
As part of Operation Lightning, the FBI, along with Europol, seized 34 domains and 23 servers in seven countries, as well as froze about $3.5 million in cryptocurrency.
Customers of the service used other people's IPs for banking fraud, hacking crypto accounts, and fake insurance payouts. Among the targets were routers from Cisco, D-Link, TP-Link, Netgear, and other popular brands.
The moral? Update your router's firmware and change default passwords. This isn't paranoia—it's hygiene 🧼
