New Dysphoria DDoS botnet spreads to 200k devices worldwide
A botnet called Dysphoria has compromised around 200,000 devices across the world and is using them for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and traffic relay operations.
AI Summary
A botnet named Dysphoria has taken control of roughly 200,000 devices worldwide, using them for distributed denial‑of‑service attacks and traffic‑relay functions. Researchers at QiAnXin XLab say the malware evolved from the earlier “jackskid” and “fbot” families by incorporating a covert blockchain‑based command‑and‑control resolution mechanism. This new architecture enables the botnet to coordinate attacks while obscuring its control infrastructure.
