Reaper Botnet: More Than 2 Million Internet Of Things Devices Compromised

For more than one month, threat actors have been building a new botnet made up of compromised Internet of Things devices. Researchers believe nearly two million devices have already been infected and the botnet is still growing.

Known as IoT_reaper or Reaper, the massive collection of compromised internet-connected devices consists primarily of security cameras, network video recorders (NVRs) and digital video recorders (DVRs).
