A new botnet named “Gorilla” has launched over 300,000 Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks globally. It is derived from the leaked Mirai botnet source code. Using techniques like UDP floods to conduct the DDoS attacks, and exploiting a security flaw in Apache Hadoop YARN RPC to get remote access, this botnet is particularly dangerous. The attacks have targeted various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and government, causing significant disruptions. Security experts are urging organizations to strengthen their defenses and update their systems to mitigate the impact of these attacks.
