Synthient Helps Disrupt World's Largest DDoS Botnet
The U.S. Department of Justice, in coordination with international law enforcement, has announced a major operation to disrupt the infrastructure of four of the world’s largest IoT botnets, including Aisuru and Kimwolf. Together, these botnets hijacked over three million devices worldwide to launch record-breaking Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
The Kimwolf botnet specifically targeted devices traditionally firewalled from the broader internet, enslaving them to act as proxy traffic for criminal networks and launch attacks reaching up to 30 Terabits per second.
Synthient is proud to have contributed to the DOJ's efforts. By identifying active exploitation, sharing malware samples, and coordinating disclosures with impacted parties, we helped neutralize this threat. We remain dedicated to making the web a safer place and are grateful to have played a role in this historic takedown.

As part of our latest research we sent out 11 vulnerability disclosure notifications to the largest proxy providers. The scope involved millions of exposed devices, contributing to the growth of the worlds largest DDoS botnet.

A look into the internals behind a large-scale proxy operation, from the sourcing of IPs to the platform itself. How proxy providers utilize everything from TV boxes to free software for building out a pool of unique proxies.
This has been an extraordinary set of data to process: 1.3B unique passwords, 2B unique email addresses (including mine 😭) and almost 3M of our @haveibeenpwned subscribers in there. It’s been weeks of processing to get this loaded, and finally, it’s done troyhunt.com/2-billion-emai…
With support from @synthient, we've just pushed out a corpus of 183M stealer log victims to @haveibeenpwned. We'd never seen 16.4M of those before, either, so there's a lot of new stuff in there, and that's just the first part. More here: troyhunt.com/inside-the-syn…
We collaborated with Have I Been Pwned in this latest piece of research to report several billion stolen credentials. Part 1 of the corpus is live on their platform and we've released a blogpost detailing our side of the research.
