Canadian Man Arrested for Operating KimWolf DDoS Botnet Hacking 2 Million Devices

Authorities arrested a 23‑year‑old Ottawa resident accused of operating 'KimWolf,' a massive IoT DDoS‑for‑hire botnet that allegedly enlisted over one million devices and launched attacks peaking near 30 Tbps, including impacts to U.S. Department of Defense‑associated IP ranges; coordinated U.S.–Canadian actions and public–private telemetry led to seizures of command‑and‑control infrastructure, domain sinkholing, and ongoing extradition and prosecution efforts.
