Eleven11bot Captures 86,000 IoT Devices for DDoS Attacks

Researchers have identified Eleven11bot, a rapidly growing IoT botnet of tens of thousands of compromised security cameras and NVRs, launching sustained, large-scale DDoS attacks (ranging from hundreds of thousands to hyper‑volumetric attacks) against targets such as telecommunications and gaming infrastructure; the botnet propagates via brute-force logins, default/hardcoded credentials and exposed Telnet/SSH services, with significant device counts reported worldwide and substantial portions traced to devices in Iran.
