Any links to the source code ?

They should be some Github repository somewhere. 193.51.83.103 (talk) 12:20, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Sources

Hello all, I am attempting to add more sources to this article, but I am having a date error on source 2. Also, I am new to editing, what are the conventions/formats for this type of editing? Thanks Henrywissmiller (talk) 19:35, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Henrywissmiller! Fixed, the diff's here. You can read more on how to use that template here for what it's worth. Palosirkka (talk) 19:36, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The recent expose of Anna-senpai

Anna-senpai, the creator of Mirai, has recently had an expose by Krebs (one of his targets), revealing his prospective identity, as well as the uses of this bot.

I'm leaving the article here, as I'm not sure if this "speculation" is concrete enough to include within the Wiki. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/01/who-is-anna-senpai-the-mirai-worm-author
