DDoS Botnet Aisuru Blankets US ISPs in Record DDoS

The Aisuru botnet, primarily using compromised IoT devices from U.S. ISPs, has been launching record-breaking DDoS attacks, with the most recent reaching 29.6 terabits per second. The botnet, which targets insecure devices like routers and security cameras, has been causing widespread disruption, particularly for online gaming communities. ISPs are struggling to mitigate the massive traffic volumes generated by Aisuru, impacting their ability to provide quality service. The botnet's operators have been identified as three cybercriminals, with one of them, Forky, denying involvement in the attacks. The botnet's rapid growth is aided by exploiting vulnerabilities in IoT devices, and it has been linked to the dismantling of a competing botnet, Rapper Bot.
