New Dysphoria DDoS botnet spreads to 200k devices worldwide

Dysphoria, a newly identified botnet, has infected approximately 200,000 devices globally and is operating them to conduct distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and relay malicious traffic. The widespread infection indicates rapid propagation and operational scale across multiple regions.

Why it matters: Network operators and hosting providers managing customer-facing infrastructure need to identify and block traffic from compromised endpoints, and security teams should monitor for signs of infection within their organization.
