Emerging IoT Botnet “Eleven11” Poses Global Cybersecurity Risk

A rapidly spreading cyber threat, dubbed Eleven11, has compromised over 86,000 IoT devices globally, fueling record-breaking DDoS attacks peaking at 6.5 Tbps.

Key Threat Insights:

🔹 Initially targeted security cameras and NVRs, now expanding to smart home gadgets and industrial control systems
🔹 Exploits weak credentials and exposed Telnet/SSH ports for infiltration
🔹 Launches prolonged attacks, generating hundreds of millions of packets per second
🔹 Traditional DDoS defences struggle to mitigate the impact

This underscores the urgent need for stronger IoT security. Organizations must adopt network segmentation, robust authentication, and regular firmware updates to mitigate risks.
