A dangerous new botnet is adding new ways to infect vulnerable endpoints almost every day, researchers are saying.

Multiple cybersecurity research teams spotted a botnet called EnemyBot in March this year, and at first, it was found to be abusing critical vulnerabilities in web servers, CMS platforms, Android smartphones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Since then, researchers have been tracking the development of the botnet and have found its creators are fast adding newly discovered vulnerabilities to the list of attack vectors. The latest report, coming from AT&T Alien Labs, says 24 new vulnerabilities have been added, including some that don’t even have a CVE number yet, making them extremely dangerous.
