Ever wondered why your router phone and other devices are slow and hot...Darlloz is its name IoT (Internet of things) worm

It is equipped with 13+ default usernames and password combinations ready to infiltrate devices you have at home.

It is an infant still but the author of it seems to be updating its features regularly..apparently.
check out the Symantec Blog for the more detailed writeup
