The Mirai worm is gnawing its way through the Internet of Things and will not stop

Yeah, at this point the botnet can send a 620 Gbps DDoS, and the scum who’ve made it keep adding new devices it can infect as they find more IoT device exploits. The Deutsche Telekom attack is particularly hairy since they found an exploit in the router’s remote firmware update, installed their firmware, then closed the firmware management off so the ISP can’t patch ~1000000 devices and has to beg all their customers to manually restart.
