The code was used in the Satori and Brickerbot botnets, as well as a string of variants which were based on the infamous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/mirai-botnet-adds-three-new-attacks-to-target-iot-devices\/\">Mirai botnet<\/a>, which is still going strong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ibm-a-data-breach-will-now-cost-your-organization-3-86-million\/\">IBM: A data breach will now cost your organization $3.86 million, if you&#8217;re lucky<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mirai was utilized in 2016 to disrupt Internet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/blame-the-internet-of-things-for-causing-massive-web-outage\/\">services across the US<\/a> on a scale we had not experienced before.<\/p>\n<p>While the motives have not been made clear, the hacker told Anubhav that they wanted to make &#8220;the biggest, baddest botnet in town,&#8221; which may suggest we could have another LizardStresser scenario on our hands in the future, in which another botnet will be used in targeted attacks &#8212; or even be made available for hire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s painfully hilarious how attackers can construct big bot armies with known vulns,&#8221; the security researcher added.<\/p>\n<p>Anubhav suspects that Anarchy may be the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.newskysecurity.com\/understanding-the-iot-hacker-a-conversation-with-owari-sora-iot-botnet-author-117feff56863\">same hacker known as Wicked<\/a>, who has been linked with the creation of the Owari\/Sora botnets.<\/p>\n<p>The story may not be over.
