flag U.S. and allies dismantled four global botnets, disrupting over 3 million infected devices and halting cyberattacks up to 30 terabits per second.

flag U.S. and international authorities disrupted four major botnets—Aisuru, KimWolf, JackSkid, and Mossad—infected with over 3 million devices globally, including hundreds of thousands in the U.S., used to launch massive DDoS attacks, some reaching 30 terabits per second, targeting systems like the Department of Defense Information Network. flag The operation, led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska with FBI, DCIS, and partners in Germany and Canada, seized infrastructure and disrupted a “cybercrime as a service” model enabling others to rent attack capabilities. flag Private-sector and nonprofit groups supported the effort, aiming to halt ongoing threats and protect critical infrastructure.
