The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) disrupted multiple botnet networks, including Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid, and Mossad, which had hijacked approximately 3 million devices. These botnets were used by cybercriminals to conduct thousands of attacks, though specific attack types or targets were not detailed. The operation is part of an ongoing crackdown on large-scale botnet threats amid increasing challenges in combating cybercrime. No specific dates, technical indicators (e.g., CVE IDs), or geographic details were provided. The disruption aims to neutralize the infrastructure enabling these malicious activities.
