NEW YORK—Law enforcement agencies in the United States, Germany and Canada have carried out an operation to take down infrastructure used by four major botnets that infected more than 3 million devices worldwide.
The U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement on Thursday the malicious networks - Aisuru, KimWolf, JackSkid and Mossad - were used to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, with some Department of Defense websites among the targets.
