What happened
KrebsOnSecurity feed summarizing a wave of high-impact cyber activity: a new worm/wiper dubbed “CanisterWorm” spreading via poorly secured cloud services and targeting systems using Iran time zone or Farsi locale; an Iran-linked wiper claimed against medtech firm Stryker; coordinated law‑enforcement disruption of four massive IoT botnets (Kimwolf, Aisuru, JackSkid, Mossad) that infected millions of devices and enabled record DDoS attacks; Kimwolf-related disruptions to the I2P anonymity network and ongoing harassment by the botmaster “Dort”; a stealthy phishing-as-a-service called “Starkiller”
