The Zergeca botnet, written in Golang, has been discovered by cybersecurity researchers. It is capable of performing advanced DDoS attacks and possesses multiple functionalities including proxying, scanning, self-upgrading, persistence, file transfer, reverse shell, and sensitive data collection. The botnet uses DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) for DNS resolution and a lesser-known library called Smux for command-and-control communication. Evidence suggests it is an evolution from the Mirai botnet, with attacks targeting Canada, Germany, and the U.S. in mid-2024.
