Berlin – German authorities said Friday they had shut down two of the world’s largest botnets, suspected of being behind major online attacks, in a joint operation with the US and Canada.
The Aisuru botnet consisted of a network of several million compromised online devices, such as routers and webcams, according to a statement from police and prosecutors.
The second, associated botnet Kimwolf comprised several million infected devices, primarily Android TV boxes, they said.
