Feds Take Down 4 IoT Botnets Behind Record 31 Tbps DDoS #cybersecurity

Three million hacked routers, IP cameras, and cheap Android TV boxes were quietly doing DDoS work for somebody else. The DOJ, Canada, and Germany just ended it. Last month, coordinated action seized the command infrastructure for four IoT botnets — Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, and Mossad — collectively responsible for 300,000+ DDoS attacks, including one that peaked at 31 Tbps, the largest ever recorded. Aisuru is the parent from late 2024; Kimwolf is an October 2025 spinoff whose Android-to-LAN spreading technique was uncovered by a 22-year-old researcher at Synthient. The takedown killed the C2 servers, but infected devices remain compromised until they're rebooted and firmware-updated.
