User Datagram Protocol (UDP) observed an unanticipated drop in activity that began in India and was also observed in China a week later. The change was caused by an update to Mozi bots that stripped them of their functionality. A few weeks following these events, ESET researchers were able to identify and analyze the kill switch that caused Mozi\u2019s demise.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThe demise of one of the most prolific IoT botnets is a fascinating case of cyber forensics, providing us with intriguing technical information on how such botnets in the wild are created, operated, and dismantled,\u201d says ESET researcher Ivan Be\u0161ina, who investigated the disappearance of Mozi.<br \/><br \/>On September 27, 2023, ESET researchers spotted the control payload (configuration file) inside a UDP message missing the typical content; its new activity was in fact to act as the kill switch responsible for Mozi\u2019s takedown. The kill switch stopped the parent process \u2013 the original Mozi malware \u2013 and disabled certain system services, replaced the original Mozi file with itself, executed certain router\/device configuration commands, and disabled access to various ports.<\/p><p class=\"bodytext\">Despite the drastic reduction in functionality, the Mozi bots have maintained persistence, indicating a deliberate and calculated takedown. ESET analysis of the kill switch showed a strong connection between the botnet\u2019s original source code and recently used control payloads that were signed by the correct private keys.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThere are two potential instigators for this takedown: the original Mozi botnet creator or Chinese law enforcement, perhaps enlisting or forcing the cooperation of the original actor or actors. The sequential targeting of India and then China suggests that the takedown was carried out deliberately, with one country targeted first and the other a week later,\u201d explains Be\u0161ina.<br \/><br \/>For more technical information about the demise of the Mozi botnet, check out the blog post \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.welivesecurity.com\/en\/eset-research\/who-killed-mozi-finally-putting-the-iot-zombie-botnet-in-its-grave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Who killed Mozi?
