Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a coordinated international operation to disrupt four of the world's largest IoT DDoS botnets — Aisuru, Kimwolf, Jackskid, and Mossad — responsible for record-breaking attacks reaching approximately 30 Tbps.

Together, these botnets had hijacked over three million devices worldwide and launched hundreds of thousands of DDoS attacks against victims across the globe.

This was a massive collaborative effort involving law enforcement agencies in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, alongside many private-sector partners. We're proud that Nokia was among the companies that contributed — our Deepfield Emergency Response Team helped map botnet infrastructure and supported the takedown efforts.
