Mirai malware sets sights on enterprise IoT devices ripe for picking

[via CI Security] Researchers say these new variants have the potential to impact cloud servers and heavily compromise information and insurance services and more. https://www.scmagazine.com/home/security-news/cybercrime/the-infamous-mirai-malware-has-grown-into-more-than-60-known-variants-and-has-since-set-its-sights-on-enterprise-devices/

As a result, connected devices at the enterprise level including medical devices, utility company meters, robots tracking warehouse inventory, and other devices are at risk. Devices connected to the cloud could allow Mirai adversaries to gain access to cloud servers, infect a server with additional malware dropped by Mirai, or expose all IoT devices connected to the server to further compromise.
