đ Contexte Le 21 mars 2026, Security Affairs rapporte quâune opĂ©ration internationale coordonnĂ©e par le DĂ©partement de Justice amĂ©ricain (DoJ) a ciblĂ© lâinfrastructure de commandement et contrĂŽle (C2) de plusieurs botnets IoT majeurs : AISURU, Kimwolf, JackSkid et Mossad. LâopĂ©ration a impliquĂ© des autoritĂ©s du Canada et de lâAllemagne, ainsi que des entreprises technologiques privĂ©es. đŻ Botnets ciblĂ©s et ampleur Les quatre botnets ont infectĂ© plus de 3 millions dâappareils dans le monde, principalement des Ă©quipements IoT (camĂ©ras, routeurs). Ils opĂ©raient selon un modĂšle cybercrime-as-a-service, louant lâaccĂšs aux appareils compromis pour lancer des attaques DDoS massives :

#Aisuru, #KimWolf & Co.: Behörden âstörenâ vier gefĂ€hrliche Botnets | Security https://www.heise.de/news/Aisuru-KimWolf-Co-Laenderuebergreifende-Aktion-gegen-vier-gefaehrliche-Botnets-11218668.html #DDoS #CyberCrime #JackSkid
"The collection of millions of hacked computers known as Aisuru and Kimwolf have been used to launch some of the biggest distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks ever seen. Now United States law enforcement agencies have wiped both of them off the internet, along with two of the other hordes of hijacked computersâknown as botnetsâin a single broad takedown.
On Thursday, the US Department of Justice, working with the cybercrime-fighting agency within the US Department of Defense known as the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, announced that it had dismantled four massive botnets in a single operation, removing the command-and-control servers used to commandeer the hacker-run armies of compromised devices known by the names JackSkid, Mossad, Aisuru, and Kimwolf. Together, operators of the four botnets had amassed more than 3 million devices, the Justice Department said, and often sold access to those devices to other criminal hackers as well as using them to target victims with overwhelming floods of attack traffic to knock websites and internet services offline.
Aisuru and Kimwolf, a distinct but Aisuru-related botnet, had together comprised more than a million devices, according to DDoS defense firm Cloudflare, with Aisuru infecting a variety of devices ranging from DVRs to network appliances to webcams, and its Kimwolf offshoot infecting Android devices including smart TVs and set-top boxes."

ICYMI: a story about pulling one thread linking multiple botnets â four of which were targeted by coordinated law enforcement actions this week, and an adjacent one for which our team publishes the C2 decryption scheme.
A day late, but I appreciate all new and regular faces that made it out last night.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
Thought I would leave some learned info:
- Death Valley had a rare flower blooming event
- Tipper is a Drum/bass music artist
- #HomeAssistant is cool
Since I donât have twitter length restrictions, this article about my #network #security space was nice to read. It is about the #kimwolf #aisuru takedowns. A little bit like wack-a-mole but every little bit helps⊠I think.
Stay safe out there!

AWS und Behörden zerschlagen weltweit gröĂtes DDoS-Botnetz Kimwolf
Eine koordinierte internationale Strafverfolgungsoperation hat vier leistungsstarke DDoS-Botnetze vom Netz genommen. Im Mittelpunkt steht Kimwolf, das mit Spitzenwerten von bis zu 30 Terabit pro Sekunde als das gröĂte jemals dokumentierte Botnetz dieser Art gilt
