New, from our ERT: #CECbot, an Android TV botnet and the first malware we're aware of that exploits HDMI-CEC.

It puts the TV to sleep so you don't notice the box behind it is running DDoS and residential proxy traffic. Curve25519/ChaCha20 crypto, 9 persistence layers, and... LAN mapping.

Successor to a Mirai fork, shares not much but the C2 server.

NEW: The FBI has taken down and seized two websites that were run by the pro-Iranian hacktivist group Handala.

“Law enforcement authorities determined this domain was used to conduct, facilitate, or support malicious cyber activities on behalf of, or in coordination with, a foreign state actor,” read the seizure notice.
