The duo, a 24 year-old man from Veendam and a 28 year-old man from Middelburg, had been offering the network of Mirai-infected devices as a for-hire distributed denial of service tool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The investigation also revealed that this botnet was very aggressively trying to infect other devices, up to over a million attempts per month on one device,&#8221; the translated police statement reads.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Which DDoS attacks can be attributed to this botnet is part of the further investigation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2017\/12\/01\/child_wearing_a_suit_shutterstock.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Child wearing a suit and using a computer\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Isn't that what we all want for our kids, after all?\">Mirai botnet malware offspring graduates from uni, puts on a suit, slips into your enterprise<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/06\/14\/mirai_echobot_botnet_enterprise\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Police said they plan to charge the pair with crimes including, but not limited to, computer intrusion and spreading malware. The cops hope that, by seizing the servers, they can take down this botnet once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>The bust-up of a locally-based bulletproof host (a term used for server providers who don&#8217;t ask questions of their customers and typically ignore takedown requests) should also prove significant.<\/p>\n<p>While shady hosting operations have typically been <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/07\/18\/magecart_ukraine_hosting\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">associated with<\/a> poorer, strife-ridden areas that have little in the way of government and police oversight, there are a number of advantages to having a bulletproof host located nearby in a major city, including reliability and lower latencies, that would make the Amsterdam datacenter a hot commodity with local cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, users and admins who are worried about falling victim to Mirai and other botnet malware should first reset the device to get rid of any locally running code, then make sure they have changed default passwords and double-checked their firewall settings and updated all firmware. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl
