FBI, Google Take Down NetNut Proxy Network Used by Cyber Threat Actors
The FBI and Google coordinated a takedown of the NetNut proxy network and the Popa botnet, which had infected devices with Mirai distributed denial of service (DDoS) botnet variants. The action disrupted infrastructure used by threat actors to conduct attacks and conceal their activity.
Why it matters: Organizations running infected devices or observing proxy traffic patterns from NetNut need to investigate exposure to DDoS attacks and conduct remediation scans; security teams should monitor for Mirai variants and update network detection signatures.
