Canadian national Jacob Butler, operating under the alias ‘Dort,’ has been arrested for running the Kimwolf botnet, an AISURU variant that issued over 25,000 attack commands and generated DDoS peaks of 31.4 Tbps. Concurrent law enforcement action seized 45 DDoS-for-hire platforms, significantly reducing available attack infrastructure. Organizations running internet-exposed services and those relying on IoT devices with weak authentication remain at elevated risk of botnet recruitment and DDoS targeting.
