Quote:On Monday, researchers from Qihoo's 360Netlab said that Fbot, a botnet based on Satori botnet coding, is demonstrating some extremely odd behavior for such a system.
Satori is a botnet variant based on Mirai, the infamous botnet which was able to take down online services across an entire country.

Quote:The researchers say that Fbot appeared on the radar last week and it appears the only job this botnet has is to chase down systems infected by another botnet, com.ufo.miner, a variant of ADB.Miner.
ADB.Miner has been active of late. The botnet targets Android devices -- including smartphones, the Amazon Fire TV, and set-top boxes -- for the purpose of cryptojacking and covertly mining for Monero (XMR) with the help of the Coinhive mining script.
