While the payload does initially look similar, it&#8217;s actually also significantly different because it&#8217;s written in the Go programming language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Go has been gaining popularity among developers in recent years \u2013 and it&#8217;s also becoming increasingly popular with malware authors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BotenaGo scans the internet looking for vulnerable targets, and analysis of the code reveals that the attacker is presented with a live global infection counter which tells them how many devices are compromised at any given time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The attackers are able to exploit the vulnerabilities in the internet-facing devices and can execute remote shell commands &#8212; and it&#8217;s something which attackers could potentially use as a gateway to the wider network, if not secured properly. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/topic\/cybersecurity-in-an-iot-and-mobile-world\/\">Cybersecurity in an IoT and mobile world<\/a>&nbsp;(ZDNet special report)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>Attackers also have the ability to use this option to distribute malicious payloads, but at the time researchers were analysing BotenaGo, these had apparently been removed from the servers hosted by the attackers, so it wasn&#8217;t possible to analyse them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BotenaGo could potentially compromise millions of devices that are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/cybersecurity.att.com\/blogs\/labs-research\/att-alien-labs-finds-new-golang-malwarebotenago-targeting-millions-of-routers-and-iot-devices-with-more-than-30-exploits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">exposed to the vulnerabilities detailed by researchers<\/a>&nbsp;but currently there isn&#8217;t any obvious communication with a command and control server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to researchers, there are three options. First, it could mean that BotenaGo is just one module of a larger malware suite that isn&#8217;t being used in attacks right now. There&#8217;s also the possibility that it&#8217;s connected to Mirai, used by those behind Mirai when targeting specific machines. Finally, researchers also suggest that BotenaGo is still in development and a beta of it has accidentally been released early \u2013 hence why it doesn&#8217;t do much yet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even if it is inactive, the number of vulnerabilities BotenaGo can exploit means millions of devices are potentially vulnerable. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In order to protect against this and other IoT malware threats, it&#8217;s recommended that software is well-maintained with security updates being applied as soon as possible in order to minimise the time for attackers to exploit newly disclosed vulnerabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also recommended that IoT devices aren&#8217;t exposed to the wider internet and that a properly configured firewall is deployed to protect them.
