The Aisuru botnet, reportedly the largest of its kind, has heavily relied on compromised Internet-of-Things devices for its attacks, primarily targeting U.S.-based ISPs like AT&T and Comcast. Recent records indicate Aisuru’s attacks have overwhelmed networks with traffic peaks of nearly 30 terabits per second, highlighting the botnet’s growing threat in the cybersecurity landscape.
Experts note that Aisuru’s utilization of outdated and insecure consumer-grade devices complicates mitigation efforts for ISPs, resulting in significant disruption to everyday internet traffic. As the botnet continues to target online gaming platforms, collateral damage extends beyond immediate victims, impacting normal internet users and services. The need for robust outbound DDoS attack suppression mechanisms is emphasized by security professionals, pointing to the potential for severe service degradation across affected networks.
