The Eleven11bot botnet operates with over 30,000 compromised IoT devices, primarily from Iran, targeting telecom and gaming sectors through DDoS attacks. Security researchers stress the need for enhanced protective measures against such threats.
A newly discovered botnet, comprising over 30,000 compromised security cameras and network video recorders, is launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against telecommunications and gaming platforms. This botnet, termed Eleven11bot, has been monitored by security researchers at Nokia Deepfield and GreyNoise, highlighting its association with brute-force attacks that exploit weak or default passwords on Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
The Eleven11bot botnet represents a significant threat, with its origins traced primarily to Iran. Its operations are characterized by high intensity, targeting vulnerabilities in IoT devices, particularly certain security cameras. Ongoing proactive measures, such as securing devices and monitoring network traffic are critical to mitigate the risks posed by such malicious activities.
