Aisuru Botnet Shifts from DDoS to Residential Proxies – Krebs on Security
3w ago · krebsonsecurity
The Aisuru botnet, initially known for launching massive DDoS attacks exceeding 30 terabits per second, has shifted its operations to support a residential proxy business by leveraging hundreds of thousands of compromised IoT devices. The botnet's operators have updated their malware to allow renting infected devices to proxy services, which are increasingly used for large-scale data scraping to feed AI training models. This shift has caused significant disruption to ISPs and raised concerns about abuse of residential proxies for cybercrime and unauthorized content scraping.
