Surveillance cameras, webcams, smart thermostats infected with malware helped carry out yesterday's DDoS attack!
Dyn DNS, the internet traffic management company hit by DDoS attacks Friday which affected more than 80 popular websites, says it believes that smart devices such as webcams and thermostats were infiltrated to carry out the attacks.

Dyn DNS believes tens of millions of these connected devices, including surveillance cameras, webcams and smart thermostats were infected with malware.

Use your head. .think about what they are telling you. ..do you really think there are all of these "infected" devices out there? If so, how could that happen? Let's look at the possibilities. .

1. Someone hacks into each device, one at a time.

2. Malware infects the devices. How? .from the owners surfing the net? ..wouldn't it be easier to just infect your pc?..how many people have the same security cam, surf the same site and get the same infection?

3. Some malicious backdoor built into the devices firmware, right at the factory.


I'd say number 3 is most likely. I'd also say the government is the most likely to know of such an exploit and put it to use.
Get over it or die mad.

Source Code for IoT Botnet ‘Mirai’ Released

The source code that powers the “Internet of Things” (IoT) botnet responsible for launching the historically large distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against KrebsOnSecurity last month has been publicly released, virtually guaranteeing that the Internet will soon be flooded with attacks from many new botnets powered by insecure routers, IP cameras, digital video recorders and other easily hackable devices.

The leak of the source code was announced Friday on the English-language hacking community Hackforums. The malware, dubbed “Mirai,” spreads to vulnerable devices by continuously scanning the Internet for IoT systems protected by factory default or hard-coded usernames and passwords.

I can't wait until they hack the cars. Millions of cars come to a dead stop. All at once.

Of course, it'll happen on a day that I have to be at work on time and that I get up extra early to make sure I'm there.

Re: Surveillance cameras, webcams, smart thermostats infected with malware helped carry out yesterday's DDoS attack!
Hello, I just seen a post about malware on this site, a post that was quickly removed as I suspect this one will be.

I have been a long time lurker of this site and here is my two cents. And yea you can ban me but believe me can easily reset my ip. This would be about the 500th time you have banned me lol.

So here we go, let me start with some history.

When things in the world go crazy this site makes money. We all know that, no big deal.

We are all accustom to the IP bans across the board under the guise of "Our site is under attack, but if you pay and register you are immune." Yea I call BS you are a liar and anyone with some knowledge can figure that out.

Now, you decided to try and make some more money by using ads.

Unfortunately, you decided to go with a VERY disreputable company that does IN FACT send you to malware sites.

This is a shame, you used to be legit; but I guess you decided to align yourselves with the enemy of the internet.

I would request you respond to this and explain your actions, perhaps it is a misunderstanding, perhaps you do not know that your tactics are gross and that your new ads are a large hit to your reputation and your site.

I hope you come to your senses and resolve this issue quickly.
