What happened
This feed aggregates multiple KrebsOnSecurity reports (Mar 2026) covering high-impact cyber threats: law enforcement in the U.S., Canada and Germany disrupted the infrastructure for four massive IoT botnets (Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, Mossad) that had compromised millions of devices and enabled record DDoS attacks; Kimwolf remains a prolific actor (including attacks on I2P and connections to other botnets such as Badbox 2.0) and its alleged operator (“Dort”) has been doxxing and harassing researchers. Separate incidents include an Iran-linked group claiming a destructive wiper attack against S
