BASHLITE
Okay kiddo, so bashlite is a type of computer virus.
Remember when your mommy told you not to click on links or download things from unknown sources? That's because some bad people put viruses in those things.
Well, bashlite is one of those viruses. It specifically targets something called "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices. You know, like smart lights, thermostats, and even toys that connect to the internet.
Once the virus gets into an IoT device, it tries to spread to other devices on the same network. It does this by searching for other IoT devices and then uses something called a "botnet" to infect them too.
Now, the bad people who made this virus can control all the devices in that botnet, like an army of robots. They can use this army to do bad things, like sending a lot of traffic to a website to make it crash (kinda like everyone trying to go through the same door at once), or even steal sensitive information from devices on the network.
So it's important to make sure all your IoT devices have strong passwords and are updated with the latest security patches. And if your mommy or daddy think there might be a virus on one of your devices, they should talk to an expert (like a computer technician) to get it cleaned up.
Remember, don't click on weird links or download things from unknown sources, and keep your devices safe and secure!
