\"If we can conclude anything from the analysis of the first quarter of 2017, it's that cyber risks and affected industries remain high and the threat landscape is constantly evolving,\" said Martin McKeay, Senior Security Advocate and Senior Editor of the State of the Internet Security Report<\/a>. \"The use cases of botnet attacks, such as Mirai, have been continuously refined and changed. Attackers are increasingly exploiting vulnerabilities in the Internet of Things to carry out their attacks with DDoS botnets and malware. However, it would be naive to think Mirai is the only threat. With the release of the source code, any components of Mirai can be integrated into other botnets. Mirai aside, there is also evidence that botnets such as BillGates, elknot, and XOR have adapted to the changing environment to exploit it for themselves.\"<\/p>\n
