Reaper IoTroop Enrollment Audit Trail

PROBLEM: In October 2017, Check Point reported the Reaper (IoTroop) botnet — a Mirai descendant — enlisting an estimated one million-plus routers and IP cameras within weeks. Enrollment estimates for fast botnets are published once and never audited, so nobody knows afterward whether the estimate was right or how the enrollment actually unfolded.

SOLUTION: A Storage Copy Data Management improvement that maintains a botnet enrollment audit trail: each published enrollment estimate, the method behind it, the devices observed, and the later confirmed count, so the next million-device estimate can be checked against the audited record instead of taken on faith.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Check Point, October 2017: Reaper/IoTroop reported enlisting an estimated one million-plus devices (routers, IP cameras) within weeks.
