AI Summary

The Dysphoria IoT botnet has undergone significant changes in its design, incorporating blockchain-based command and control (C2) and victim relays. This shift is notable as it makes the botnet more resilient to disruption efforts. The adoption of blockchain technology allows for greater flexibility and decentralization, potentially making it harder for authorities to target and dismantle the network. The botnet's evolution follows a law-enforcement operation against JackSkid infrastructure in March.
