FBI Seizes NetNut Domains as Google Disrupts 2M Device Proxy Network

The FBI and IRS seized domains associated with NetNut, an Israeli residential proxy service built from an estimated two million consumer devices (including Android smart TVs and streaming boxes) that was abused by cybercrime groups and state-backed actors to conceal malicious activity such as password spraying, unauthorized access, and DDoS; Google and partners disrupted infrastructure, shared technical mitigations, and linked NetNut components to botnets like Popa, Kimwolf, and Badbox 2.0.
