The presence of the MD5 hash 0a726ddab4af1ad1c0370d205d367cb3 in our environment represents a significant threat, indicative of potential Mirai botnet infection. This hash is associated with malicious files targeting Linux-based embedded systems using the MIPS architecture, commonly deployed in IoT devices. A successful compromise could lead to participation in DDoS attacks, credential theft, and further propagation of the botnet within the network. Its detection across multiple reputable threat intelligence feeds (Abuse.ch-Hash, URLhaus Feeds, SOCRadar Threat Exchange Services, Maltiverse Hash List, AlienVault OTX Feeds) underscores the widespread recognition of this hash as a malicious indicator. This IOC is specifically relevant due to its association with the Mirai botnet, a known threat actor with a history of launching large-scale DDoS attacks. Rapid action is required to identify and remediate any infected systems.
