New, breaking: Feds Disrupt IoT Botnets Behind Huge DDoS Attacks

The U.S. Justice Department joined authorities in Canada and Germany in dismantling the online infrastructure behind four highly disruptive botnets that compromised more than three million Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as routers and web cameras. The feds say the four botnets — named Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid and Mossad — are responsible for a series of recent record-smashing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks capable of knocking nearly any target offline.

No word yet on which botmasters got a visit from feds, but the DOJ statement references law enforcement actions against against botmasters in Canada and Germany. Last month, I reported on a likely identity behind Dort, the main individual behind the Kimwolf botnet. The other suspect was a 15 y/o from Germany.
