BOTNET SWARMS. “The Hide ‘N Seek IoT botnet, first detected this past spring, has moved the bar significantly closer to enabling a botnet to function as a swarm. It communicates in a complex and decentralized manner using custom-built peer-to-peer communication to implement a variety of malicious routines. It also leverages multiple anti-tampering techniques to prevent a third party from hijacking or poisoning it, and it is also the first IoT botnet malware strain that can survive device reboots and still remain on compromised devices.”
