IoT Botnet & Smart Device Attacks — Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence

Part of the Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence collection by electricsheepafrica.

Acquisition: SYNTHETIC
Rows: 10,000 (balanced 50/50)
Synthetic: All records are synthetic (is_synthetic=1), based on real-world research data.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-iot-botnet-smart-device")

Overview

This dataset models IoT botnet recruitment and smart device attacks across African nations. Africa has over 700 million connected devices with minimal security — Kaspersky identifies Africa as the most attacked region for IoT threats, while NETSCOUT reports that African IP space contributes 14% of global DDoS botnet traffic. Cheap Chinese-manufactured devices with default credentials and no update mechanisms dominate the market.

Africa-specific patterns captured:

South Africa: Smart city projects (Tshwane, Cape Town), mining SCADA/ICS, prepaid meter hacking
Nigeria: ISP CPE router mass-compromise, Mirai variant infections on home routers
Kenya: Smart agriculture IoT sensors, M-Pesa POS device targeting, solar inverter attacks
Egypt: Smart grid deployments, industrial IoT in Suez zone
Continental: 700M+ devices, mostly unsecured Chinese generics with default telnet/SSH
Unique threats: Smart prepaid electricity meter manipulation for theft, solar inverter botnet recruitment
Mirai legacy: African ISP infrastructure heavily infected by Mirai variants targeting CPE
DDoS source: Africa as unwitting DDoS cannon — devices recruited into global botnets
Detection gap: Most African ISPs lack IoT threat monitoring capabilities
