Synthient Helps Disrupt World's Largest DDoS Botnet
The U.S. Department of Justice, in coordination with international law enforcement, has announced a major operation to disrupt the infrastructure of four of the world’s largest IoT botnets, including Aisuru and Kimwolf. Together, these botnets hijacked over three million devices worldwide to launch record-breaking Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
The Kimwolf botnet specifically targeted devices traditionally firewalled from the broader internet, enslaving them to act as proxy traffic for criminal networks and launch attacks reaching up to 30 Terabits per second.
Synthient is proud to have contributed to the DOJ's efforts. By identifying active exploitation, sharing malware samples, and coordinating disclosures with impacted parties, we helped neutralize this threat. We remain dedicated to making the web a safer place and are grateful to have played a role in this historic takedown.

Part 2 is live, making it the first billion corpus on the platform. 2.5x in size from Collection #1
This has been an extraordinary set of data to process: 1.3B unique passwords, 2B unique email addresses (including mine ðŸ˜) and almost 3M of our @haveibeenpwned subscribers in there. It’s been weeks of processing to get this loaded, and finally, it’s done troyhunt.com/2-billion-email…

With support from @synthient, we've just pushed out a corpus of 183M stealer log victims to @haveibeenpwned. We'd never seen 16.4M of those before, either, so there's a lot of new stuff in there, and that's just the first part. More here: troyhunt.com/inside-the-synt…

We collaborated with Have I Been Pwned in this latest piece of research to report several billion stolen credentials. Part 1 of the corpus is live on their platform and we've released a blogpost detailing our side of the research.
