FICORA and Kaiten Botnets Exploit Old D-Link Vulnerabilities for Global Attacks

Cybersecurity researchers warn about increasing malicious activity that uses vulnerable D-Link routers to create botnets, the FICORA and CAPSAICIN variants.

Both use similar methods to download malware onto various Linux systems and employ a variety of attack vectors to disrupt or control the victim systems. Regular kernel updates and comprehensive monitoring are critical to prevent such attacks.
