US and Canada arrest and charge suspected Kimwolf botnet admin

U.S. and Canadian authorities arrested Jacob Butler (aka “Dort”) for operating the KimWolf DDoS-for-hire botnet that infected nearly two million IoT devices and was used in over 25,000 attacks — including strikes reaching ~30 Tbps and targeting critical networks — prompting international seizures of command-and-control infrastructure and disruption of related DDoS platforms.
