•Akamai researchers on the Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) have discovered a new Go-based, DDoS-focused botnet. The malware appears to have been named “Hinata” by the malware author after a character from the popular anime series, Naruto. We are calling it “HinataBot.”
•HinataBot was seen being distributed during the first three months of 2023 and is actively being updated by the authors/operators.
•The sample was discovered in HTTP and SSH honeypots abusing old vulnerabilities and weak credentials.
•Infection attempts observed include exploitation of the miniigd SOAP service on Realtek SDK devices (CVE-2014-8361), Huawei HG532 routers (CVE-2017-17215), and exposed Hadoop YARN servers (CVE N/A).
