**Executive summary:** KrebsOnSecurity reports that the Aisuru/Airashi IoT botnet — a globally distributed collection of compromised routers, DVRs and other devices — was used in a brief but enormous DDoS test exceeding 6.3 Tbps; the botnet leverages default credentials and software exploits (including a reported Cambium cnPilot zero-day), is being rented via Telegram channels, and is linked to an operator known as "Forky," creating an active, high-impact DDoS-for-hire threat.
