Researchers Sinkhole Over 550 Kimwolf and Aisuru Botnet C2 Servers

The Kimwolf Android TV botnet, alongside its sibling Aisuru, silently conscripted over two million Android streaming devices into a formidable army. This botnet didn’t just steal data, it turned everyday smart TVs and streaming boxes into proxies for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and global malware relay networks.
