Showing code overlaps with Mirai and its variants and reusing Gafgyt code, Mozi has been highly active over the past year, and it accounted for 90% of the IoT network traffic observed between October 2019 and June 2020, although it did not attempt to remove competitors from compromised systems, IBM researchers say. The large increase in IoT attacks might also be the result of a higher number of IoT devices being available worldwide, thus expanding the attack surface.
The Mozi botnet, a peer-2-peer malware known previously for taking over Netgear, D-Link and Huawei routers, has swollen in size to account for 90 percent of observed traffic flowing to and from all internet of things devices, according to researchers. IBM X-Force noticed Mozi's spike within it's telemetry, amid a huge increase in overall IoT botnet activity.
