Four compromised npm packages in the @asyncapi namespace have been observed distributing a multi-stage botnet loader, according to findings from OX Security, SafeDep, Socket, and StepSecurity
TrendAI™ Research analyzed over 200 Gemini CLI session logs showing how a Russian-speaking threat actor used AI to run a live botnet, finishing a full C&C migration in six minutes while doing just 11% of the work himself.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said today it worked with industry partners to seize hundreds of domains associated with NetNut, a sprawling residential proxy service operated by the publicly-traded Israeli company Alarum Technologies [NASDAQ: ALAR]. The action comes roughly two weeks after KrebsOnSecurity published findings from multiple security firms connecting NetNut to the Popa botnet, a collection of at least two million devices that have been compromised by malicious software with little or no consent from victims.
DOJ Says KimWolf Powered Massive DDoS-for-Hire OperationsU.S. prosecutors charged a Canadian man accused of operating the KimWolf botnet, alleging the DDoS-for-hire platform compromised nearly two million IoT devices and powered attacks that reached record traffic volumes worldwide.
The Russian state-sponsored hacking group known as Turla has transformed its custom backdoor Kazuar into a modular peer-to-peer (P2P) botnet that's engineered for stealth and persistent access to compromised hosts
Threat actors are exploiting security flaws in TBK DVR and end‑of‑life (EoL) TP-Link Wi-Fi routers to deploy Mirai-botnet variants on compromised devices, according to findings from Fortinet FortiGuard Labs and Palo Alto Networks Unit 42
The botnet, which compromised routers and IoT devices in 163 countries, claimed about 369,000 victims and $5.8 million from its cybercriminal customers, officials said. The post Authorities takedown global proxy network SocksEscort appeared first on CyberScoop.
The cybercriminals in control of Kimwolf -- a disruptive botnet that has infected more than 2 million devices -- recently shared a screenshot indicating they'd compromised the control panel for Badbox 2.0, a vast China-based botnet powered by malicious software that comes pre-installed on many Android TV streaming boxes. Both the FBI and Google say they are hunting for the people behind Badbox 2.0, and thanks to bragging by the Kimwolf botmasters we may now have a much clearer idea about that.
A new Internet-of-Things botnet called Kimwolf has spread to more than 2 million devices, forcing infected systems to participate in massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and to relay other malicious and abusive Internet traffic. Kimwolf's ability to scan the local networks of compromised systems for other IoT devices to infect makes it a sobering threat to organizations, and new research reveals Kimwolf is surprisingly prevalent in government and corporate networks.
Our first story of 2026 revealed how a destructive new botnet called Kimwolf rapidly grew to infect more than two million devices by mass-compromising a vast number of unofficial Android TV streaming boxes. Today, we'll dig through digital clues left behind by the hackers, network operators, and cybercrime services that appear to have benefitted from Kimwolf's spread.
The world's largest and most disruptive botnet is now drawing a majority of its firepower from compromised Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices hosted on U.S. Internet providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, new evidence suggests. Experts say the heavy concentration of infected devices at U.S. providers is complicating efforts to limit collateral damage from the botnet's attacks, which shattered previous records this week with a brief traffic flood that clocked in at nearly 30 trillion bits of data per second.
Google on Thursday revealed it's pursuing legal action in New York federal court against 25 unnamed individuals or entities in China for allegedly operating BADBOX 2.0 botnet and residential proxy infrastructure
A vulnerability in the popular Python-based tool for building AI agents and workflows is under active exploitation, allowing for full system compromise, DDoS attacks, and potential loss or theft of sensitive data
Cybersecurity researchers have called attention to a new campaign that's actively exploiting a recently disclosed critical security flaw in Langflow to deliver the Flodrix botnet malware
This blog uncovers an active campaign exploiting CVE-2025-3248 in Langflow versions before 1.3.0 that deploys the Flodrix botnet, enabling threat actors to achieve full system compromise, initiate DDoS attacks, and potentially exfiltrate sensitive data.
Persistent Attack Grants Remote SSH Access via ExploitSomeone - possibly nation-state hackers - appears to be constructing a botnet from thousands of Asus routers in hacking that survives a firmware patch and reboots. Nearly 9,000 routers have been compromised and the number is growing, say researchers.
Over 9,000 ASUS routers are compromised by a novel botnet dubbed "AyySSHush" that was also observed targeting SOHO routers from Cisco, D-Link, and Linksys. [...]
The U.S. government has indicted Russian national Rustam Rafailevich Gallyamov, the leader of the Qakbot botnet malware operation that compromised over 700,000 computers and enabled ransomware attacks. [...]
A critical command injection vulnerability impacting the Edimax IC-7100 IP camera is currently being exploited by botnet malware to compromise devices. [...]
A massive botnet of over 130,000 compromised devices is conducting password-spray attacks against Microsoft 365 (M365) accounts worldwide, attempting to confirm credentials. [...]
