US ISPs Host Massive IoT Botnet

Updated: 2025.10.11 11D ago 1 sources
KrebsOnSecurity reports the Aisuru botnet drew most of its firepower from compromised routers and cameras sitting on AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon networks. It briefly hit 29.6 Tbps and is estimated to control ~300,000 devices, with attacks on gaming ISPs spilling into wider Internet disruption. — This shifts DDoS risk from ‘overseas’ threats to domestic consumer devices and carriers, raising questions about IoT security standards and ISP responsibilities for network hygiene.
