"description": "Security researchers have discovered the first IoT botnet malware strain that can survive device reboots and remain on infected devices after the initial compromise.\nThis is a major game-changing moment in the realm of IoT and router malware. Until today, equipment owners could always remove IoT malware from their smart devices, modems, and routers by resetting the device.\nThe reset operation flushed the device's flash memory, where the device would keep all its working data, including IoT malware strains.\nBut today, Bitdefender researchers announced they found an IoT malware strain that under certain circumstances copies itself to /etc/init.d/, a folder that houses daemon scripts on Linux-based operating systems —like the ones on routers and IoT devices.\nBy placing itself in this menu, the device's OS will automatically start the malware's process after the next reboot.",
