🛡️ **Defensive Guidance**

- Block `animefastflux[.]com` and its associated IP (`195[.]177[.]94[.]50`) at DNS, proxy, and endpoint layers.
- Monitor for outbound traffic consistent with **Mirai C2 beaconing patterns**.
- Hunt for IoT devices exhibiting signs of Mirai compromise (e.g., abnormal telnet/SSH traffic).
- Track certificate transparency logs for additional domains tied to Mirai infrastructure.

⚠️ This IOC highlights the continued presence of **Mirai botnet C2 servers**, often spun up on generic VPS infrastructure with minimal configuration.
