Feds Disrupt IoT Botnets Behind Huge DDoS Attacks

Executive summary: U.S., Canadian, and German authorities disrupted infrastructure for four large IoT botnets—Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, and Mossad—that had infected millions of devices and launched record-setting DDoS attacks and extortion schemes; law enforcement executed seizure warrants against domains and servers, credited private-sector partners, and identified suspected operators in Canada and Germany while noting a disclosed vulnerability that accelerated Kimwolf's spread.
