The Mirai botnet attack, launched in 2016, was a major cybersecurity event that exploited vulnerabilities in the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT). By hijacking devices with weak security, such as cameras and routers, Mirai created a botnet that launched massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, disrupting key websites and services like Twitter, Netflix, and GitHub. This case study examines the Mirai botnet’s operation, its impact on the global internet infrastructure, and its long-lasting effects on IoT security practices. The attack underscored the importance of stronger security protocols for IoT devices and pushed the development of more sophisticated DDoS mitigation technologies.
