Juniper Warns of Mirai Botnet Attacks on Session Smart Routers
#JuniperNetworks has issued a security alert about a Mirai-based #botnet targeting Session Smart routers with default credentials. The malware scans for vulnerable devices, executes remote commands, and enables #DDoS attacks.
Key indicators of compromise include brute-force login attempts, spikes in outbound traffic, erratic device behavior, and scans on common ports. Juniper urges users to replace default passwords, update firmware, monitor logs, and deploy firewalls. Infected devices must be reimaged to ensure complete removal of the threat.
Admins are advised to adopt strong security practices to prevent further attacks.
