A Bug that was discovered on atleast 116 different routers 5 years ago is being exploited to create a botnet of now over 100,000 since it has gone un-patched over the time since it was originally found. The exploit is targeting UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Devices as they can open up many holes in a network.

i recall some network cameras, alongside some DVRs and routers were affected by the Mirai malware, which when activated, caused DDoS and brought some prominent internet services (Twitter, Paypal) down for a couple of hours, and on separate occasions, brought down the internet of Liberia.
