New Mirai-Based Linux Botnet ‘Evooo1Bot’ Turns Victims Into Proxies

A new Linux botnet called Evooo1Bot, based on the Mirai framework, has been discovered with advanced capabilities that repurpose compromised edge devices as persistent proxies. The malware represents an evolution of the Mirai codebase with additional functionality beyond traditional distributed attack infrastructure.

Why it matters: Network defenders and IoT device owners should monitor for Evooo1Bot infections, as compromised systems may be silently relaying traffic and exposing internal networks to abuse by threat actors.
