Feds Disrupt IoT Botnets Behind Huge DDoS Attacks

Multiple KrebsOnSecurity reports describe a high-impact period of cyber activity: U.S., Canadian and German authorities disrupted the infrastructure for four massive IoT botnets (Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid and Mossad) that had infected millions of devices and powered record DDoS attacks; the Kimwolf botnet (and its operator “Dort”) continues to conduct disruptive DDoS, doxing and harassment campaigns, swamp the I2P anonymity network, and claim access to other botnets (Badbox 2.0).
