The Zerobot botnet, first detected earlier this month, is expanding the types of Internet of Things (IoT) devices it can compromise by going after Apache systems.<\/p>\n

The botnet, written in the Go programming language, is being sold as the malware-as-a-service (MaaS) model and spreads through vulnerabilities in IoT devices and web applications, according to the Microsoft Security Threat Intelligence (MSTIC) team in a report released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Zerobot was first reported<\/a> on in early December by researchers at Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs, who said the botnet was targeting Linux devices. Like typical botnets, the goal is to compromise internet-connected devices like firewalls, routers, and cameras and pull them into a botnet to launch DDoS attacks.<\/p>\n
