US Justice Department, Canada, and Germany Dismantle Four Major IoT Botnets Behind Record DDoS Attacks
The U.S. DOJ, alongside Canadian and German authorities, dismantled four major IoT botnets—Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, and Mossad—that compromised over three million devices and launched hundreds of thousands of DDoS attacks. The disruption targeted infrastructure used to attack Department of Defense IPs and aimed to prevent further infections and attacks. Users should audit and update IoT devices and monitor for suspicious activity.
