A rapidly evolving IoT malware dubbed "EnemyBot" is targeting content management systems, web servers and Android devices.
The Alien lab research team study found four main sections of the malware.
Py', used to download all dependencies and compile the malware into different OS architectures.
A batch file "Update.sh" is created and used to spread the malware to vulnerable targets.
"In case an Android device is connected through USB, or Android emulator running on the machine, EnemyBot will try to infect it by executing shell command," said the researcher.
"Keksec's EnemyBot appears to be just starting to spread, however due to the authors' rapid updates, this botnet has the potential to become a major threat for IoT devices and web servers," the researchers added.
