This week, another Mirai botnet, known as Botnet 14, began targeting a small, little-known African country, sending it almost entirely offline each time.
Security researcher Kevin Beaumont, who was one of the first to notice the attacks and wrote about what he found, said that the attack was one of the largest capacity botnets ever seen.
The attack was said to be upwards of 1.1 Tbps — more than double the attack a few weeks earlier on security reporter Brian Krebs’ website, which was about 620 Gbps in size, said to be one of the largest at the time.
