Joint Operation Disrupts Major DDoS Botnets

Authorities from the United States, Germany, and Canada conducted a joint operation to disrupt the C2 infrastructure of four major DDoS botnets: Aisuru, KimWolf, JackSkid, and Mossad. These botnets targeted Internet of Things (IoT) devices to facilitate large-scale distributed denial-of-service attacks. The action involved seizing or neutralizing the command servers used to control compromised devices. No specific dates, technical indicators, or quantified impacts (e.g., number of infected devices) were disclosed in the report. The operation marks a coordinated effort to dismantle some of the world’s largest active botnet threats.
