A botnet discovered at the start of the year and named Hide 'N Seek (HNS) has expanded from infecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices and is now also targeting cross-platform database solutions as well.
This is an important development in the botnet's evolution, which also passed a significant milestone in May when it became the first IoT malware that was capable of surviving device reboots.
