Kaspersky discovers multiple IoT devices targeted with a new Mirai botnet version
Kaspersky Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT) researchers have found multiple IoT devices targeted with a new version of the Mirai botnet. The majority of attacked devices were located in China, Egypt, India, Brazil, Turkiye and Russia. Mirai remains one of the top threats to IoT in 2025 due to widespread exploitation of weak login credentials and unpatched vulnerabilities, enabling large-scale botnets for DDoS attacks, data theft and other malicious activities. According to Kaspersky research, there were 1.7 billion attacks on IoT devices (including those made with Mirai) coming from 858,520 devices globally in 2024. 45,708 attacks on IoT devices (including those made with Mirai) were launched from UAE in 2024, which is 54% more than in 2023. To explore IoT attacks, how such attacks are carried out and how to prevent them, Kaspersky set up so called honeypots – decoy devices used to attract the attention of the attackers and analyze their activities. In the honeypots Kaspersky detected the exploitation of the CVE-2024-3721 vulnerability to deploy a bot – it turned out to be a Mirai botnet modification. A botnet is a network of compromised devices infected by malware to perform coordinated malicious activities under the control of an attacker. This time, the focus of the attacks were digital video recorders (DVRs) – these devices are integral to security and surveillance across multiple sectors. They record footage from cameras to monitor homes, retail stores, offices and warehouses, as well as factories, airports, train stations and educational institutions, to enhance public safety and secure critical infrastructure. Attacks on DVR devices can compromise privacy, but beyond that, they can serve as entry points for attackers to infiltrate broader networks, spreading malware and creating botnets to launch DDoS attacks, as seen with Mirai. The discovered DVR bot includes mechanisms to detect and evade virtual machine (VM) environments or emulators commonly used by security researchers to analyze malware. These techniques help the bot avoid detection and analysis, allowing it to operate more stealthily and remain active on infected devices. 'The source code of the Mirai botnet was shared on the internet nearly a decade ago, and since then, it has been adapted and modified by various cybercriminal groups to create large-scale botnets mostly focused on DDoS and resource hijacking. Exploiting known security flaws in IoT devices and servers that haven't been patched, along with the widespread use of malware targeting Linux-based systems, leads to a significant number of bots constantly searching the internet for devices to infect. By analyzing public sources we identified over 50,000 exposed DVR devices online, indicating that attackers have numerous opportunities to target unpatched, vulnerable devices,' comments Anderson Leite, Security Researcher with Kaspersky's GReAT. To reduce the risk of IoT device infection, users should: • Change default credentials and use strong, unique passwords. • Regularly update DVR firmware to patch known vulnerabilities. • Disable remote access if unnecessary or use secure VPNs for management. • Segment DVRs on isolated networks. • Monitor for unusual network traffic to detect potential compromises.

Authorities Crack Down on Boss IPTV and Affiliate Illegal IPTV Services: Users Warned of Criminal Charges and Deportation Risks
New Delhi: A major international crackdown has uncovered an extensive illegal Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) operation streaming pirated content across various digital platforms. Operating under brand names such as Boss IPTV, Guru IPTV, Tashan IPTV, Brampton IPTV, Vois IPTV, Indian IPTV, Punjabi IPTV, Edmonton IPTV, Boss Entertainment IPTV, and UltrastreamTV, this unlawful network has been implicated in severe copyright infringement and data privacy violations, According to police, these services have been illegally broadcasting premium Indian and international content including channels and programs from Star, Zee Network, Colors, Sony, Sun Network, ETV, Aha, Sonyliv, as well as global streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and international sports leagues—without securing proper licenses or permissions. Delivered through Android/Linux-based set-top boxes or via apps on smart devices, the illegal services were aggressively promoted online via social media, websites, and blogs, offering premium content at prices significantly below legal services. Government investigations reveal that these platforms do not pay content owners or platforms for rights, deeply harming the entertainment industry. The global South Asian broadcast sector loses an estimated $200–$300 million annually due to IPTV piracy, affecting licensed platforms like YuppTV,. In addition to economic damage, there are serious security concerns: pirated IPTV services often harvest user data—such as credit card information—and are linked to phishing scams, tax evasion, and potentially funding other illegal operations including drug trade and terrorism. Previously in 2021, following a complaint filed by YuppTV, the Faridabad Cyber Crime Branch conducted a raid on Boss IPTV operations in India, leading to the arrest of six individuals connected to the illegal piracy network. YuppTV has further filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court, represented by Goldstein Law Group, LLC ('GLP') targeting Boss IPTV and its affiliated entities. The complaint highlights severe violations of U.S. federal copyright law under 18 U.S.C. § 2319. According to GLP: 'Any subscriber using illegal IPTV pirate services… may be linked to copyright infringement, a crime under U.S. federal law. Convictions may result in felony charges, and non-citizens convicted of such offenses may be subject to deportation under U.S. law.' Recently, another similar case was reported by the Gandhinagar Cyber Crime Unit in Gujarat which arrested Mohammed Murtuza Ali, suspected to be the key figure behind another massive illegal IPTV operation known as Bos IPTV. Operating from Jalandhar, Punjab, Ali allegedly ran a piracy network that drew over five million subscribers and generated close to ₹700 crore (US $84 million) in annual revenue. Legal authorities suggest that to avoid the possibility of arrest and other penalties, all current users accessing pirated services immediately discontinue use and migrate to legal, licensed platforms such as YuppTV.

2025 SDV Survey: Automotive Industry Is Betting on AI, OTA Updates and Advanced Software, Though Obstacles Remain
Annual survey carried out by Wards Intelligence, now part of Omdia, and sponsored by Sonatus highlights major progress in shift to software-defined vehicles SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sonatus, a leading automotive software company accelerating the shift to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) through artificial intelligence, has sponsored the 2025 edition of the Software-Defined Vehicle Survey, an annual global survey conducted by Wards Intelligence, now part of Omdia. Sonatus today revealed some key findings from that survey in the form of an eBook. Carried out in March 2025, the survey gathered insights from more than 500 automotive professionals spanning Asia, Europe and North America. The study explores the industry's evolving technology priorities, reflecting a decisive shift toward AI, embedded software, and its future potential. The industry is shifting gears to software The study reveals a significant shift in perspective: while data management and systems integration dominated last year, AI and software-related capabilities are now at the top of the priority list. Across all regions, respondents cite AI-based automotive functions, OTA updates, continuous software deployment (CI/CD) and automated software recertification as key elements of future mobility. Another notable finding is the increasing viability of open-source solutions in safety-critical applications. Where proprietary systems previously dominated, Linux-based platforms are now gaining confidence, a shift that reflects a growing need for flexibility and scalability. 83% of respondents are considering Android and Linux in safety systems, compared to 2024, when only 12% considered Linux viable. AI as a driver of new capabilities AI is generating a lot of excitement globally, but not only in areas such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving. Notably, four of the five most promising AI use cases — smart diagnostics, dynamic performance calibration, personalized driving comfort optimization, and predictive maintenance — are not yet widely deployed. Routing and navigation, which is increasingly deployed in IVI systems today, was #4 on the list. This suggests a significant untapped opportunity in foundational vehicle functions, not just infotainment or voice interfaces. OTA Updates are becoming more pervasive 67% of respondents said over-the-air (OTA) updates were already deployed in their vehicles, an acceleration of this shift compared to last year. However, OTA updates are not yet pervasive across all vehicle systems. Only 23% of respondents say OTA are used today for upgrades to vehicle capabilities, though an additional 55% (or 78% cumulative) expect broader deployment by 2026-2027. A modular and progressive approach to software architecture Vehicle architectures are evolving to support scalable, software-centric platforms. Overall adoption of hardware and networking technologies will begin with high-speed in-vehicle network backbones with higher prevalence in 2027, followed by consolidated hardware running multiple workloads with abstraction around 2028. Vehicle platform standardization is expected to occur around 2029, with the transition to zonal architecture beginning from 2030 onwards. Variants of zonal architectures are expected to be the majority during that period. Structural challenges to overcome for a successful transition Despite a clear momentum towards software-defined vehicles, survey replies identified several obstacles to large-scale adoption. Cost optimization and ensuring ROI topped the list (29%), along with data management and privacy (27%), and legacy systems, operations and mindset (26%). Fortunately the journey is seen as worth the effort, as 82% of respondents believe SDVs will be either very successful or somewhat successful in achieving key industry goals like enhanced in-car experience, increased quality, new revenue streams, and faster product development and innovation. Sonatus: Accelerating the shift to SDV To help accelerate the shift to software-defined vehicles with artificial intelligence, Sonatus offers a modular platform of crucial software infrastructure, which is in mass-production in millions of vehicles. For example, Sonatus Collector offers highly configurable dynamic data collection, and Sonatus Updater provides a modern powerful solution for the increasingly complex OTA update requirements of SDVs.
