New HEH botnet can wipe routers and IoT devices
The disk-wiping feature is present in the code but has not been used yet.
Named HEH, the botnet spreads by launching brute-force attacks against any internet-connected system that has its SSH ports (23 and 2323) exposed online.
If the device uses default or easy-to-guess SSH credentials, the botnet gains access to the system, where it immediately downloads one of seven binaries that install the HEH malware.
HEH was discovered by security researchers from Netlab, the network security division of Chinese tech giant Qihoo 360, and detailed for the first time in a report published today.
