Source Code for IoT Botnet ‘Mirai’ Released

Summary of the article:

The botnet that DDoS'ed KrebsOnSecurity last month [peak at 600 Gbps] has been named Mirai and the code source has been publicly released by the author.

Expect the internet to be flooded soon.

Hopefully this forces manufacturers to more quickly release firmware updates for existing hardware, and ensure all future devices REQUIRE username/password changes out of the box and when factory reset. One can dream?
