US and Allies Disrupt Major IoT Botnets Behind DDoS Attacks

The U.S. Justice Department, alongside Canadian and German authorities, has successfully dismantled the infrastructure of four significant botnets that had compromised over three million Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including routers and web cameras. The botnets, named Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, and Mossad, were responsible for a series of powerful distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that could incapacitate a wide range of targets. This operation marks a significant effort to enhance cybersecurity and mitigate the risks associated with such large-scale attacks. Internet users are urged to secure their IoT devices to prevent future compromises. Source: [publication name].
