You’ve heard of the Mirai botnet — the malware that turned routers and cameras into DDoS weapons. Now imagine a variant designed not just for terrestrial IoT, but for space-based systems.

Mirai, the infamous botnet that once hijacked hundreds of thousands of IoT devices, may have faded from headlines. But its legacy has evolved. Enter – a stark reminder that as we connect more devices (from satellites to ground sensors), we expand the attack surface beyond Earth.
