This is such a joke... anyway what does this "malware" do?

Haha yeah, the name’s ridiculous — but the malware’s real.

It’s a Mirai variant that infects routers (Cisco, TP-Link, etc.), does DDoS, mines crypto, proxies traffic, and drops backdoors. Spreads via known and zero-day vulns.

I dont know why its trying to mine crypto on a weak ARM router no way that gets far
