Dutch police and the National Cyber Security Center dismantled a botnet comprised of over 17 million devices managed by roughly 200 servers hosted in the Netherlands; the servers were seized from a hosting provider and taken offline. The infrastructure has been linked to ASOCKS, a Russia-based residential proxy provider, and the report highlights how residential proxies enable anonymity and complicate cybercrime mitigation (DDoS, C2 operations, scraping, phishing).
