    Boo, bad article.

    Here’s a better one:

    https://www.fortinet.com/blog/threat-research/iot-malware-gayfemboy-mirai-based-botnet-campaign

    Highlights:

    Upon execution, the malware displays the string “twinks :3.”

    The malware uses the string “meowmeow” as a trigger to activate its backdoor functionality.

    The known C2 domains include:

    cross-compiling[.]org
    i-kiss-boys[.]com
    furry-femboys[.]top
    twinkfinder[.]nl
    3gipcam[.]com

    Thank you Josh Milton for your style and a well-written article.

    What kind of band is Josh in?

    My guess is “awesome”. Maybe “rad”.

      The genre is called bootgaze-prog-emo, you’ve probably never heard of it, and it’s more of a conceptual journey project than a band. We’re playing at an abandoned chemical factory this weekend, you should come check us out.
